Twilight Movie
Yesterday I showed you The National Theatre which was a link between Art Nouveau and Art Deco. Well this is something a little more modern and a world away in style. Brutalism as an architectural style employed the use of raw concrete. They are usually imposing edifaces oozing power. In Australia the high point for Brutalism came in the 1970s, but Henty House (built in the early 1980s) was one of the last of its kind.
In many ways they are the last of the buildings that architects saw as "machines". After this phase architecture reverts to organic forms and more eco-friendly structures. Although this ziggurat form of Henty House is still not popular in Launceston, I'm glad we have it around as an example of this form of architecture.
