The concrete brutalism of London's National Theatre is loved and hated in equal measure. Prince Charles even described it as "a nuclear power station".

Designed by the British architect, Denys Lasdun, the National Theatre took 13 years to complete. Every aspect of the building was carefully designed by Lasdun, down even to the crockery and cutlery for the restaurant. Once finished in 1976, it quickly became an icon of brutalist architecture. Architectural historian Kester Ratterbury describes it as “one of the last great buildings of the age of public sector architecture … a really ambitious public facility which sought to be itself, not a poor copy of commercial work."

It is no wonder then, that with his architectural training, the London-based draftsman Luke Adam Hawker took it on to recreate the image in this series of prints.

Luke is also included an original drawing, Tate Modern, in the auction.
