Brutal Structures: Architecture Walking Tour

Between the City of London’s facetted glass skyscrapers and carved stone palazzos stand buildings from another era executed in a very different material: concrete. They include a robust tower for a Livery Company, a state-of-the-art institutional space in Victorian disguise, a civic plaza that straddles past and future and an insurance market whose new home became an icon.

This tour takes a fresh look at these structures, revealing the surprising variety and subtlety in this still controversial movement.
