Owen Luder

Owen Luder, CBE ( born August 7, 1928) is a British architect who is attributed to the Brutalist architecture of the 1960s and 1970s.

Life

Luders buildings that often took on the character of sculptures have been characterized by their raw, undisguised exterior skin of the concrete. In rainy, humid winters marked by the United Kingdom, the structures of the buildings were quickly drawn gray and brown rainwater tracks.

Luder was honored by the award of the CBE and was chairman of the audit Chamber of Architects and president of the Royal Institute of British Architects.
