A defining example of Brutalist architecture, while admired by many, it has also divided opinion as either a modernist masterpiece or a concrete carbuncle.Wide street decks, the so-called 'streets in the sky’, were symbolic of London’s East End pavements as well as the architects' social concerns. After less than fifty years and two attempts at listed property status, it is now currently undergoing demolition in stages as part of the Blackwall Reach regeneration scheme.
Participants will begin the day by looking at some of the important reference points within the RIBA Library Collections, including the photographs by Tony Ray-Jones made while the estate was under construction. Next the group will travel to the site of Robin Hood Gardens where they will have a guided tour around the estate.
Then comes the challenge of capturing some lasting images of this iconic building. Led by an experienced photographer, firstly you will focus on seeing the estate in context to the rapidly changing urban surroundings before looking at its architectural details. The day will finish with a chance to review and discuss your photographs as well as the regeneration plans for the Blackwall Reach scheme.
