Architectural style - brooks building, manchester university

[Channel Hopper]

The fascia reminds me of some 60s style, not necessarily architecture but sculptures, paintings etc.

The description is

a veil of glazed white ceramic and fritted glass panels which change in density across the facade

but that doesn't help at all. Does anyone know the actual name for this type of look, if there is one ?

I would say that's Brutalism, tarted up with the 'niceties' described.

Apart from the Grenfell tower look, the slatted, irregular machine cuts in the fascia. Reminds me slightly of the 5th dimension scene thingy in Interstellar.

I might have been hanging mine incorrectly.

I would say it was an architect who was given boxes of second hand Lego bricks to keep him amused and this was imprinted, indeed permanently etched on his grey matter.

Im sure there is a name associated with the style, European, possibly German.

Not Cubist, Bauhaus ?

The University of Northampton has a similar set of features.
