===Brutalist architecture===
{{Main|Brutalist architecture}}
The reconstruction that followed the [[Second World War]] had a major impact upon English architecture. The austerity that followed the WWII meant that cost dictated many design decisions, however significant architectural movements emerged. One such movement was the native development of Brutalism. Its look was created though the desire to express how buildings were constructed, for example through the use of exposed concrete. Significant  "New Brutalist" buildings  were the Economist Building, the [[Hayward Gallery]], the [[Barbican Arts Centre]] and the [[Royal National Theatre]].
