Modernist or Brutalist? Seems there’s two school

Modernist or Brutalist? Seems there’s two schools of thought - what do you think? This is Manchester’s 1960s ‘Toast Rack’ building. In a former life it was the Hollings Campus of Manchester Metropolitan University taking that name forward from the Hollings Building of the Domestic Trades College. Architect: Leonard Cecil Howitt, a Londoner by birth, he made his mark in Manchester pre-WW1 in the city’s architect’s office. He studied architecture at Liverpool University qualifying in 1925. Early jobs included being part of the team who designed the Mersey Tunnel. Post WW2 he was appointed City Architect for Manchester, a role he continued in until he retired in 1961.

Australian brutalist architecture - this is Hamer

Australian brutalist architecture - this is Hamer Hall music venue within the Victorian Arts Centre in Southbank, Melbourne, part of the refurbishment of Sir Roy Grounds original Melbourne Concert Hall. He had worked on the 1970s project, unfortunately he died before its completion. John Truscott was parachuted in to complete the interior. In this photo is the more recent renovation by ARM Architecture giving this part of the building this bold new look. They create ‘new curved concrete structures on the riverside façade’ and ‘Irregular cutouts reveal windows to the river’
