Bastion House from below
Bastion House is an office building at 140 London Wall in the City of London. The main facades of the building are clearly in the International Style, but the lower sections - where it connects to the highwalk leading into the Barbican - have a more Brutalist feel. As does the concrete 'waffle' coffering beneath it.
Completed in 1976. Designed by architects Powell & Moya.
At the time of taking this photo there is a planning consultation underway which is likely to result in the demolition of Bastion House and the Museum of London building beneath it. (The Museum's new home in Smithfield is already under construction.)
