MODERNISM: THE GOLDFINGER SALONS AT 2 WILLOW ROAD
A celebration of all things concrete: in this talk
architectural historian Barnabas Calder extols the virtues of the large
concrete buildings of the 1960s and ‘70s. Focusing on London and in
particular Goldfinger’s Trellick and Balfron Tower, Calder will explore
the ideas and ideals which shaped this movement in architecture. He will
introduce an understanding of a Brutalist buidling’s materials, the
techniques which went into making it, and the historical context of its
creation. A talk which will transform an inarticulate and faintly
threatening heap of concrete into an ingenious and elegant piece of
artistic design.

on British Brutalism is published by William Heinemann, and he has
