When exhibiting in London recently I photographed a new architectural style; Brutalist. Brutalist architecture is a style of architecture that is typically very linear and 'blockish', and is majorly built with concrete.
The style initially was associated with government buildings, low-rent housing and shopping centres, resulting in functional structures at a low cost, and while the style has been criticized for it's 'ugliness' and the fact that concrete ages poorly (staining easily and attracting moss), it has it's followers.
