Although a ton of walking, we were blown away by the amount of Brutalism in the city that we would never have seen without this tour. Evan is very charming, eager... read more

  •   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!

  •   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.

  •   Evan is very passionate about architecture. He sees the world through this spectrum and it is indeed a refreshing one. He is knowledgeable and very personable.
