Abstract

The thesis consists of a comparison between The Aula of The TU Delft designed by Van den Broek en Bakema and The Roger Stevens building in Leeds designed by Chamberlin, Powell, and Bon. This is done to add literature specifically about Brutalist university Buildings. The main conclusion is that although the Brutalist design principles are the same, the final buildings differ.
