Blue Mountains Brutalism

Something about Brutalist buildings that gets me at the core. I love them.

 

One of my favourite galleries that I made here on my Flickr account is titled Bare Beauty of Brutalism. A collection of stunning images of Brutalist architecture and detail.

 

And I was recently gifted an addition to my home library 'Sydney Brutalism' by Heidi Dokulil which I'm enjoying.

 

I saw this beauty when recently in Katoomba in the Blue Mountains. A new build and surprisingly attached to the next door property by a sheer glass raised and covered bridge. This adjoining property was a large Art Deco property, so the twinning of the two was in contrast and highly intriguing.

 

Given its refined features, perhaps this can be called new Brutalism - the original was characterized by edifices of raw concrete with little regard for aesthetics.
