Brief: Explore the building blocks of brutalist architecture, research its physical properties and the ideologies behind the design. Create a three dimensional typographic language which embodies the brutal properties of the fortress-like structures around London.
Solution: A alphabet of brutal characters. Utilising shapes which pay homage to formidable buildings around the city, using dominating scale and raw exposed concrete textures which are taken from my photographic studies.
Outcomes: A book of architectural research, photographic studies, sketches and three dimensional illustration and typography. A complete 3D concrete alphabet. Proposals for its implementation including environmental installations and a designed brutalist appreciation website for creatives and urban explorers.
