london’s brutalist buildings are grand structures that provoke a sense of awe while being simultaneously paradoxical: each building can be generalized as yet another concrete structure - one out of the city's many - while also being revered with cult-like status by lovers of brutalism around the world

furthermore, through location and function, these buildings are quite literally breathing entities. however, each respective building boasts the ability to command moments of silence both inside and out, as though acting solely as the material they're made of

these photographs, shot in late december 2017, allude to that stillness - and their almost loving aura that can be felt within their boundaries
