Finally as part of this research and exploration into brutalism in the 21st century I am going to present a bitter-sweet form of brutalism, Grenfell Tower.
Grenfell Tower is in North Kensington, West London. It was designed in 1967 in the Brutalist style of architecture by Clifford Wearden and Associates. Nigel Whitbread (born.) was the lead architect on the design of Grenfell Tower. Whitbread went to work with Clifford Wearden on the Lancaster West Project but before this he was working at Douglas Stephen and partners and in his words it ‘was probably the most influential time in my career.’ This is because the practice was ‘at the forefront of design influenced by Le Corbusier and other modernists.’ By this it heavily influenced his work
