Affectionately known as "The Typewriter" this student residence complex in Christ's College, Cambridge is the work of Denys Lasdun, the architect of the National Theatre and the amazing College of Physicians building in London.  In his Flickr photostream Iqbal Aalam says of the building, "... Looking back at Lasdun's work one can see his love of repetition, terraces, strata and use of concrete (both insitu and precast) which has given his buildings such a memorable distinct flavour. However, I think that it will not be unfair to say that when it came to knit his buildings with the surrounding urban fabric these were not always happily accommodated. " 

Simon Heffer writing in the Spectator reviewing the new Pevsner Guide to Cambridgeshire comments on the entries in the guide that refer to the Modernist buildings in Cambridge.  Regarding this building he says that, "... New Court at Christ’s, built by Denys Lasdun in 1966–70, is termed (in the book) an ‘arrogant intrusion’ on King Street, onto which it backs. It also points out how defective the materials were, and how they have had to be patched up. "
