  #BrutalismNow - From listing "British Brutalism" in the World Monuments Watch to Preston Bus Station’s 50th birthday: so, where are we now? Friday 11 October 2019 University of Liverpool in London, 33 Finsbury Square, London, EC2A 1AG Three buildings had been named as examples when “British Brutalism” was included in the 2012 World Monument Watch: London’s Southbank Centre, Birmingham Central Library, and Preston Bus Station. Their individual stories since then vary significantly and raise intriguing questions about designation, refurbishment and re-use, and contemporary architecture. To begin with, all three buildings had applications for Certificate of Immunity from Listing submitted by their owners. Two of those Certificates were issued, whereas the third building was actually listed, despite two earlier rejections. Yet, only one building has been demolished and there are two buildings currently celebrated for their high quality refurbishment – both of these also winning a number of architecture awards, including a place in the long list for the highest architectural award, the RIBA Stirling Prize, as well as a heritage award for one of them. So, what are the wider implications of these parallel stories? Join our international group of architecture and heritage experts for what promises to be a fascinating day.
