20101021d2 The Brutal Desert
An attempt at a different view of the brutalist Welbeck car park, in Marylebone (close to Oxford Circus), London.
Built in 1971 by Michael Blampied and Partners to serve the flagship Debenhams store on Oxford Street, the car park exterior design is composed of tesselate concrete polygons. In 2017 its demolition was approved by Westminister Council. Campaigners are fighting to prevent it being torn down and replaced by a hotel.

Shot with a Nikon D40 and a Nikkor AFS DX 18-55mm F/3.5-5.6G II lens and processed in GIMP and Photoscape.
