Heritage, demolition and sustainability: Understanding Brutalist architecture in London today. March 14, 2022. With the second edition of our Brutalist London Map now published, join us on the journey of Brutalist architecture in London from the 1950s to today with Henrietta Billings, the map's editor and the director of SAVE Britain's Heritage. Brutalist architecture is a style of architecture that emerged in the 1950s and grew out of the modernist style. It is characterized by simple, block-like forms and the extensive use of exposed concrete as the primary building material. "brutalism" originated from the French term "béton brut," meaning raw concrete. The car park, which was opened in 1967, also featured as a location in the classic British gangster film Get Carter and was sometimes known as 'the Get Carter car park'. 2.
