John Madin, the architect behind Birmingham’s Central Library and many more buildings in the city, has died.
Mr Madin, whose Brutalist buildings across the city split opinion for decades, died aged 87 in a Southampton hospital on Sunday.
Born in Moseley in 1924, he studied at Birmingham School of Architecture and was responsible for the early designs for Dawley New Town, which later became Telford, as well as the Birmingham library, which divided opinion in Birmingham.
