Concrete Brutalism

CHURCH OF OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY OF THE PHILIPPINES by SPANISH ARQ. SANCHEZ-ROBLES TARIN in MADRID, SPAIN. BUILT 1967-1970. An architectural church-convent-and-offices ensemble, which despite its striking presence in the Conde de Peñalver street in the neighborhood of Salamanca, is an undiscovered treasure. It’s a building that makes you feel something.

The architect was influenced by the style of Le Corbusier, and reminds projects such as the Palace of the Assembly of Chandigarh in India, whose construction was completed in 1962, just 5 years earlier.

The building solves its diverse uses by differentiating volumes with great formal clarity, which get unified with the use of raw concrete in all elements.
