Brutalist Adelaide Walking Tour

Celebrate the era of bell-bottoms, Bowie and board-marked concrete, when Adelaide's modernist architects seized on brutalism's sculptural and structural possibilities.

Brutalism is winning back admirers around the world – and Adelaide has one of its best-kept archives, with an unusually intact collection of brutalist buildings, preserved by our low pollution and Mediterranean climate.

This one-hour walk through downtown Adelaide, led by award-winning mid-century architecture enthusiast Stuart Symons, explores some of the city's finest brutalist buildings, from the Forensic Science Centre and the former Motor Registration Centre to government headquarters and banking chambers.

Weather policy: the Brutalist Adelaide walking tour will go ahead rain or shine.
