An artist has been recreating Brutalist buildings in miniature to champion the often “unloved” architectural style he said is an integral part of the UK’s urban heritage.
Adam Carthy, 39, started his business called Spaceplay around 2016 – the same time as the demolition of Birmingham Central Library which was heralded for its Brutalist architecture, a style popular in the 1950s to 1970s and characterised by block-like, hulking concrete structures.
