In the UK context, exposed concrete has been the subject of considerable controversy; a kind of love-hate relationship, love on the part of the architects and hatred on the part of the media and, consequently, of the majority of the population.
It was not until the 1990s that concrete began to be exposed again, partly in reaction against the stylistic excesses of Postmodernism and its tendency to disassociate the surface from the structure, prioritizing the symbolic aspect over the architectural form. A slow return influenced in part by critics like Kenneth Frampton and Juhani Pallasmaa.
The work of the London architecture studio Stanton Williams is framed in this setting.
For this issue of En Blanco, we have met with its four directors Alan Stanton, Paul Williams, Patrick Richard and Gavin Henderson, and have selected six of their most recent projects, projects that we think are representative of their shared values and the particular use that made of exposed concrete and that we show here explained and developed at the level of photographs, plans and details.
