Walker's relationship with the urban landscape has changed through his encounters with it and what once might have been described as a homage to the built environment has now become something more adversarial. His critical engagement with the sites of buildings as they come and go establishes a relationship based upon their materiality and character. Recently, he began undertaking a study of the brooding concrete monoliths of the Brutalist movement, buildings loved and loathed in equal measure but still worthy of further consideration. Whilst some, Trellick and Balfron Towers become iconic ambassadors of cement and steel, with prices as stratospheric as the views, others are under threat of demolition and will be quietly obliterated from the skyline and collective memory.
