Both monumental and intimate, it has become one of the defining works of British Brutalism, at once a cultural stage and an architectural landmark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"988\" data-start=\"705\"\u003eThis model was about finding the balance in complexity. The interlocking volumes, the bold horizontals, the deep shadow lines which each had to work together at a reduced scale.
