Roger Stevens Building, Leeds - Concrete Brutalism, Brutalist Architecture Model: Mini 043

Model 043_Roger Stevens Building – Miniature Concrete Model
Hand-cast in fine concrete. Shaped by memory.

Some buildings feel like a maze turned into a monument. The Roger Stevens Building at the University of Leeds, designed by Chamberlin, Powell and Bon and completed in 1970, is one of the most distinctive Brutalist teaching complexes in Britain. With its interlocking lecture theatres, dramatic stair towers, and sculptural forms, it has become an unmistakable landmark of the Leeds campus.

This model was about distilling its complexity. The stacked volumes, the rhythm of the towers, and the deep shadow lines had to be carefully balanced at a smaller scale. I worked to make sure the cast retained the drama of the real building while keeping its clarity.

A small cast of a building that made Brutalism part of everyday student life.

Brief Overview:
The Roger Stevens Building was commissioned as part of the University of Leeds’ post-war expansion and named after Sir Roger Stevens, the university’s Vice-Chancellor. Containing 25 lecture theatres of varying size, it was designed with interlocking forms and circulation routes that made it both functional and sculptural. Today it is celebrated as one of the finest examples of Brutalist university architecture in the UK.



Please note:
My concrete sculptures are individually hand cast in solid concrete. This means that each piece will have distinctive markings and minor blemishes due to air bubbles in the concrete. This is a natural part of the material and will mean that no two pieces are ever exactly the same.
