Part of a series of Ultra Hi-Resolution images (174mp) of all the Brutalist Architecture in London. London’s Brutalist architecture, characterised by the use of raw concrete, bold geometry, and a stark, functional aesthetic, emerged in the post-war era as a radical departure from traditional ornamented styles. Major London examples like the Barbican Estate and the National Theatre demonstrate the movement’s focus on honest materials, utilitarian design, and imposing forms that evoke strength and permanence. The city’s post-war reconstruction needs aligned with Brutalism’s practicality.
