The Guilford County-Greensboro Government Center Complex, as planned by Eduardo Catalano and Peter Sugar’s firm, is a large-scale complex of cast-in-place concrete with stepped back solids and voids, flexible interior spaces, and courtyards, Arranged around the Beaux-Arts classical style Guilford County Courthouse (1918-1920) designed by Greensboro architect Harry Barton, the 1969-1970 complex is considered one of North Carolina’s prime examples of the Brutalist style popular in its era. (When it was built, Catalano was headquartered in Cambridge, not far from the Boston City Hall, designed by a large Boston firm, which was completed in 1968 and attracted fame and controversy as a nationally known example of Brutalism.)
