Brutal London: Robin Hood Gardens

Cut out and build your own iconic Robin Hood Gardens by Alison and Peter Smithson, sadly demolished in 2018. The kit includes an informative note on the building.

Brutal London by Zupagrafika allows you to reconstruct some of the most controversial edifices erected in London between the 1960s and 1970s. The collection features brutalist buildings scattered around the districts of Camden, Southwark or Tower Hamlets, from the iconic tower blocks of Balfron Tower, Barbican and Space House, through the housing estates doomed to premature demolition, like Robin Hood Gardens, Aylesbury and Ledbury Estate, to concrete grand designs, such as the National Theatre.

Architects: Alison & Peter Smithson
Built: 1969-1972; Demolished: 2018.
