Kurt Hunker: Brutalism Architecture
1249 F Street, San Diego, 92101
Cost: Free - $5
Friends of San Diego Architecture will present a lecture by Kurt Hunker, Professor of Architecture in the Graduate Program at the NewSchool of Architecture & Design. Hunker’s talk, What Brutalism Is and Is Not, will focus on the genesis of this 20th-century phenomenon called “Brutalism” or, sometimes, “The New Brutalism.” He will also review some of its significant structures and their designers, explore the reasons for its existence, and offer thoughts on the validity of applying the label — in any form — to contemporary architecture. Come early for coffee.
