Much to the despair of brutalist architecture lovers everywhere Welbeck Street car park is set to be demolished in the very near future. It’s beautiful tessellating facade will soon be torn down to make way for another luxury hotel in London’s Westminster area.

As lovers of architecture we are deeply saddened that this brutalist beauty will soon be gone for good. So, in an effort to conserve the memory of WSCP we have teamed up with London based photographer Ellie Bungay to collaborate on a body of work called Immortalising Welbeck.
Ellie has taken some stunning photographs of the car parks exterior so that it’s beauty can be immortalised in print. These will soon be available to purchase through our upcoming Indiegogo campaign.
At Adornment Archive we decided to commemorate the geometric form of the car park by making it into a piece of jewellery. We took the shape of one of the concrete polygons and played with scale and functionality of the shape, imagining different ways in which the shape could be worn. We are still designing the range, but if you’d like to be kept up to date about itWelbeck car park for Adornment Archive photo by Ellie Bungay why not register your interest here and we will keep you up to date: why not register your interest here and we will keep you up to date:
