This print showcases the iconic Apollo Pavilion, a true testament to the architectural brilliance of Victor Passmore. Located in Peterlee, County Durham, this concrete marvel stands as a symbol of post-war innovation and resilience. The photograph captures a general view of the pavilion, allowing viewers to appreciate its grandeur and unique design.
Built in 1969, during the height of brutalist architecture's popularity, the Apollo Pavilion is an exemplary representation of this distinctive style. Its bold geometric shapes and raw concrete facade create a striking visual impact that continues to captivate admirers today. This listed Grade II* structure holds immense historical significance as it reflects both the spirit of its time and Passmore's visionary approach.
