New Brutalism championed materiality and a fascination with the harsh, the substantial and the rough. The discovery of ‘beauty’ in ‘ugliness’ arguably parallels Bacon’s ability to make stark images seductive, and indeed brutal, as he revelled in the texture of paint itself. Architects Zaha Hadid and Tony Fretton will be joined architectural theorist Mark Cousins and Patrick Hodgkinson, architect of one of London’s key Brutalist structures, the Brunswick Centre, to explore these ideas.
