Brutalism lives on. London
Hayes North Telephone Exchange, 1973.
Architects; PSA and Gray Associates.
Architects were unknown to me till recently. I accidentally discovered this building from upper deck of a London bus in Hayes area on the way to Heathrow.
I may be biased but it is a pleasant surprise if a 'muscular/assertive' building from a not too distant past makes an appearance in lot of insipid mediocrity forced upon you these days.
