Brutalist Architecture


Here are some collaged sketchbook pages relating to my research of patterns within Brutalist architecture.

I visited the usual sites such as the Barbican and the Southbank but also visited council estates, the most

surreal of which was Thamesmead.

It's amazing seeing how the idealistic architecture of the time has failed the residents so badly...

Thamesmead is a wasteland (and looks vaguely like a 70s apocalyptic sci-fi movie)
