  •   Evan really loves this architecture because it’s beautiful and made with passion and craftsmanship but also because it proves another world and another future is possible. The walk was fun but also moving and thought-provoking. Very special!

  •   Evan is an enthusiastic expert of Brutalist architecture. He’s a rare bird. This tour was comprehensive and covered many buildings around town.

  •   I like Brutalism architecture more, thanks to Evan ! His passion for that type of architecture was catching, and he was very knowledgable. I learned a lot on this tour, and I particularly recommend it for people who know little/or dislike modern architecture because Evan may make you a fan.

As someone who has just heard of brutalist architecture in passing, I thought this was a really informative and interesting topic. We... read more

  •   Evan is extremely well researched and very prepared for his tour. We took a logical path through London and he gradually explained the purpose, evolution, and eventual decline of Brutalism. Evan is flexible with his tour and allows his participants to influence the direction of the discussion based... read more

  •   My 12-year-old son picked this experience because he wants to be an architect. I wondered if he'd be able to follow, but it was wonderful and now, days later, he is still talking about it. My son and I both had a great time and we learned so... read more
