In their quest for a more 'honest' architecture - what they referred to as 'poetry without rhetoric' - the Smithsons were champions of the New Brutalism, believing that buildings should be determined by their specificity of their situation: geography, existing fabric and cultural tradition. Through their involvement with the Independent Group and Team 10, and with their writings, exhibitions, and built work, the Smithsons contributed significantly to the development of architectural thinking in Britain. Alison (1928-94) and Peter Smithson (1923-) were responsible for three of the most important buildings in post-war Britain: Hunstanton Secondary Modern School, Norfolk (1950-54) The Economist Building, St James's, London (1964) and the Robin Hood Gardens housing scheme, Tower Hamlets, London (1964). Since the 1950s the complex and intellectually dense work of the Smithsons has attracted both acclaim and controversy. Essays on the work of Alison and Peter Smithson
