Rising like a powerful, layered concrete battleship over Portsmouth, the Tricorn Centre remains one of the most fiercely debated and visually spectacular monuments of British Brutalism. Designed by the visionary architect Rodney Gordon for Owen Luder Partnership and completed in 1966, this radical megastructure was a masterclass in raw, uncompromising architectural drama, defined by its cascading flyovers, jagged profiles, and soaring concrete towers.
Though controversially demolished in 2004, the Tricorn has attained legendary status among design historians and post-war heritage lovers worldwide. It stands as an unforgettable symbol of an era when British architecture possessed the immense audacity to be completely wild, heroic, and monumental.
Our Tricorn Centre Collection celebrates the raw concrete forms and graphic rhythm of this lost masterpiece of true British Brutalist genius.
