Brutalist architect Owen Luder dies aged 93



Owen Luder, the British architect behind brutalist buildings including the Trinity Square car park and Tricorn Centre, has died at the age of 93.
Luder, who passed away on Friday, was twice president of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) ? once from 1981 to 1983 and later from 1995 to 1997.

The architect was best known for his portfolio of brutalist buildings completed with his eponymous studio, the Owen Luder Partnership, during the 1960s and 70s.
Characterised by exposed concrete, sculptural forms and minimal decoration, many of these structures proved controversial and have since been demolished.
However, Luder once told Dezeen that his studio "never set out to design Brutalist buildings". "We designed them in concrete because that's what was there. Bear in mind it was the sixties, it was difficult to get steel, it was still rationed," he explained.

Luder was born in London in 1928 and enrolled at the former School of Building in Brixton at the age of 13.
He established his practice in 1957, where he employed architect Rodney Gordon. The pair went on to collaborate on several of the studio's best-known works.
