Brutalism / National Theatre, South Bank, London
An image of the National Theatre, situated on the South Bank, London, UK.
The building was designed by architects Sir Denys Lasdun and Peter Softley and structural engineers Flint & Neill and contains three stages, which opened individually between 1976 and 1977. The construction work was carried out by Sir Robert McAlpine.
The building is designed in a 'Brutalist' style, and is now, despite it only being completed in the late 1970's, is a grade II listed structure. The building has had scorn and praise heaped upon it in equal measure. Prince Charles practicably hated it saying "a clever way of building a nuclear power station in the middle of London without anyone objecting". Sir John Betjeman (who you would have thought would't be his up of tea), loved it saying "It is a lovely work and so good from so many angles...it has that inevitable and finished look that great work does".
I really like it, it's wonderful for photography, I would have liked to have got images of it a night, but due to time constraint's (and rain!) couldn't, I would have like to have got some interior shots too, but they wouldn't let me in with my DSLR, as the security guy said 'your kit looks suspiciously professional!".
