Roberto Conte s latest photography series explores Madrid s brutalist architecture to draw attention to a style not usually associated with the Spanish capital.
The photographer, whose work often depicts concrete modernist and brutalist buildings, captured a selection of Madrileño brutalism that includes the Torres Blancas by Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oíz and a Le Corbusier-informed church by Cecilio Sanchez-Robles Taríns.

Conte first visited Madrid in 2008, when he was struck by the city s vibrant energy as well as its architecture, and returned last year. In the summer of quite a challenging year, 2020, I had a job assignment in the Castile region and I considered it also as a great opportunity to finally dedicate some time to discover more of this beautiful city, he told Dezeen.
