Poor old Brutalism has had a bad press over the years.... And sometimes I can see why... If you've ever tried walking past Archway Tower in London and been blasted by gale force winds coming off it, you'll understand!!
But I've always had a strange fascination for it...
Sometimes the sheer audacity and simplicity of it, making enormous and sweeping concrete buildings. And Mr Meades appears to be a fan! The first part of his programme was a sensational visual treat, with his amazingly bold and cutting dialogue making a fabulous documentary. Part 2 is on tonight, can't wait.....
