UEA, A Brutalism Megastructure

The University of East Anglia campus was designed by Denys Lasdun and constructed in 1970.  The teaching block is a long, winding ribbon with copper hued windows. The horizontals are broken up by concrete housed vents and lift shafts jutting above the roofline. The library and students’ union building are an arrangements of boxes that continue the horizontal thread. The campus is completed by the student accommodation, the ziggurats seen through the sculpture in the infrared images. connected to the rest by long concrete walkways.
