Simple Abstract 212
This photo was taken 7 years ago today, on 22nd November 2016. I've just rediscovered it on my hard drive.
The building in the photograph is Robin Hood Gardens in Poplar, East London. Sadly, in my view, the greater part of this once very large and imposing brutalist social housing site has now been demolished and redeveloped. The architects of the original building were husband and wife team Peter and Alison Smithson. I believe this was their only residential housing design in the UK.
