the editors of Clog Magazine celebrated the launching of their latest issue with a discussion of Brutalism


at Gallery RIVAA.

John Lee of the Stewardship Report shares this video of Clog Magazine's talk about Brutalism.



Among the topics discussed was the wisdom, or lack thereof, of Main Street Master Leaseholder Hudson Related's plan to remove the glass window partitions from the Main Street Arcade. In response to a question from the architects whether the glass partitions were useful, the audience at Gallery RIVAA said that the windows were useful which, according to the architects, was more important than any opinion they may have.
