LUDER, Owen Harold was born on August 7, 1928 in London. Son of late Edward Charles Luder and of Ellen Clara Luder.
Brixton School of Building, Regent Saint Polytechnic Evening School of Architecture, Brixton School of Architecture.
He is a former chairman of the Architects Registration Board and president of the Royal Institute of British Architects. Owen Luder"s designs included some of the most powerful and raw examples of Brutalist architecture, with massive bare concrete sculptural forms devoid of claddings or decoration - other than their inherent shapes. The British climate, with abundant rain and damp winters, is unkind to such unclad concrete buildings which rapidly become a shabby grey–brown colour and streaked with marks where rainwater has run down the façades.
Poor maintenance has often exacerbated these problems.
Trinity Square in Gateshead (whose multi-storey car park featured in the 1971 gangster movie Get Carter) was another one of the practice"s major schemes, demolition of which began in January 2009. Luder also designed the much-derided Southgate shopping centre in Bath, Somerset, which has recently been demolished to make way for a new multi-million pound development.
The Trinity Square car park has also been subject to a number of redevelopment proposals and featured in the Channel 4 series Demolition in 2005. Luder featured in the 2005 British Broadcasting Corporation Radio 3 broadcast "Gateshead Multi-Storey Carolina Park".
A radiophonic tribute to Trinity Square, produced by Langham Research Centre, the programme was made entirely from the sounds of the carpark, processed and treated on quarter-inch tape.
Luder also designed the conversion of a Victorian fire station into the South London Theatre in 1967. In addition he designed a number of small houses in the borough of Lambeth including 26-28 Groveway (1953) and 76-78 Herne Hill Road (1954), one of the latter was occupied by Luder upon completion. Trinity Square in Gateshead is now demolished, and Derwent Tower demolished in 2012.
The Catford Centre, Luder"s last surviving town centre of the Tricorn type, was purchased by the local council in 2010 for "regeneration", which may involve demolition of the housing on the site.
Roxby House in Sidcup survives as an example of his later work.
