Congratulations to the C20 Society and everyone else involved in securing the listing of Dunelm House, Durham's brutalist masterpiece.
It's great news - architecturally and environmentally - that Dunelm House in Durham has been listed. Bravo to C20 Society and other campaigners. I managed to route a rather soggy cycling trip past it a few years ago and was captivated. bdonline.co.uk/news/jubilatio…
Congrats to C20 Society and Save Dunelm House for securing the listing of a concrete icon! Read Concrete Quarterly's review (with great John Donat photos) from the summer of 66. ow.ly/EnaF50FsB8Q
#BrutalMonday: Of course, as one of the most photogenic buildings of #brutalist #architecture (I'll defend it to death), Dunelm House also showed up several times in De Wolfe(s) & Browne's 'Civilia'. Here it is, doubling as the 'University Boat Club': institucional.us.es/revistas/ppa/2…
