About
Prince Charles once described the structure as a “ clever way of building a nuclear power station in the middle of London without anyone objecting .” Despite the criticisms and the thirteen years it took to realize, Denys Lasdun ’s Royal National Theatre may be the most beloved Brutalist building in Britain, thanks to its generous public spaces, thoughtful massing, and respect for the surrounding city.
