One of the images on show at the Brunswick Art Gallery
THE Brunswick Centre may be one of London’s most iconic concrete structures, so where better for a photography exhibition celebrating the building material.
Viewers can still see the striking images at the Concrete In Life show at the Brunswick Art Gallery – part of the shopping complex near Russell Square – after the show was extended.
They are being shown to mark the fifth year of the Global Cement and Concrete’s annual photographic competition and includes more than 100 images from all the previous years. The Brunswick Centre is itself a Grade II-listed Brutalist building, the centre was designed by Patrick Hodgkinson with the help of David Levitt and David Bernstein in the 1960s. It has been championed as prototype for a holistic community, integrating housing, shopping, a medical centre, cinema and office space in a single urban development.
John Themis, director of the Brunswick Art Gallery, said: “We are flattered to be able to house this exquisite exhibition at the Brunswick Art Gallery. This is an incredibly important competition, displaying skills and architectural wonders from across the globe and I can’t wait to see the public’s reaction when they admire the photographs on display.”
The exhibition is free and is open until 9pm.
