brutalism architecture by Gottfried Böhm
Schmarl Terrassenhaus Rostock. The paper model photo. Model by Zupagrafika.
Architect: Jurgen Deutler Facade reliefs; inge Jastram
Built 1976-1984
Stainless steel sculpture by Liliane Lijn.
Originally created in 1982 for the Norwich Central Library, the multiple plates are suggestive of book leaves. The construction provokes other interpretations depending on the viewing angle.
It is now located outside another library, that of the University of East Anglia whose brutalist architecture forms its backdrop.
Lijn has pioneered kinetic art and experiments with light, movement, words, film, liquids and industrial materials.
I just caught the ray of light from the upper window before the sun continued its journey

Brutalism Architecture by architect "Gottfried Böhm"
Karlovy Vary is famous for its wonderful city architecture and great location. The Hotel Thermal may be fine example of Brutalist architecture, but to build it in the middle of Karlsbad was a crime. Several irreplaceable historic structures were destroyed and 10 years of construction must have been unbearable. In the 1970's the people who made decisions where largely incompetent. The Architects Věra Machoninová and Vladimír Machonin are not to blame, but it just feels inappropriate to be in the city center. Of course my opinion is bias, as I did never see any example of brutalism architecture I liked.

People ask me why I'd want to live in the Barbican. I think this picture sums it up for me.

I've noticed this building many years ago and photographed it or parts of it few times. Seldom from East side, as I do not usually get downtown in the morning, when the sun enhances the façade. Interestingly, there are not too many windows to allow light to get inside. Perhaps the lab rats prefer to be kept in the dark. Architect Govan Kaminker created this interesting structure (described as brutalism architecture) and it does fit nicely into 1960's. It is probably the largest building at the U of T downtown campus. The statue is John Graves Simcoe (1903); a man whom Ontario thanks for a statutory holiday. His statue is still visible in Queen's Park, (unlike our first PM Johnny MacDonald) until somebody discovers that he had inappropriate relation with someone younger than him or that he drunk too much or abused his horse. History is here, to be rewritten.

Moving on from La Rochelle to Pau in the foothills of the Pyrenees. An interesting town with a wide range of building styles. This building is a bank, “Les bureaux de la caisse d'épargne” de Pau. Built in 1975, architect Jean-Pierre Boulin.
So it was certainly worth a stay in the Kensington Forum - a building designed by Seifert and a wonderful piece of brutal architecture ... as to the views ...

More brutalist architecture at the Barbican. This was taken looking up from the bottom of a stairwell.
The sharp, smart, brutalist lines of the National Theatre stand firm against an evening spring skyline.
A concrete tunnel that leads from the depths into the light. The raw concrete, the broken lights on the ceiling, the emptiness spread an end-time mood. The narrowing of the passage symbolizes obstacles on the way to the light. Brutal architecture of the present with dystopian elements.

the architecture is strict, the rhythm relentless. every beam, every panel, every fluorescent light – all pulling forward, forward, forward. he doesn’t fight it. he rolls along with his suitcase, eyes ahead, steps measured, mind elsewhere. this isn’t travel. this is routine wrapped in glass and symmetry. a visual echo of movement without meaning. the modern ritual of departure.
Convento Sant'Antonio Valtesse, Bergamo, Italia.
A very original brutalist convent and church, full of surprises, inside and outside.
Design (1969): Walter Barbero, Giorgio Zenoni and Giuseppe Gambirasio.
A glimpse on campus….UC Berkeley. Moffitt Library.
Don’t know if the timer on the lights was out of order, or what. But it was unexpected to see these lit on a Saturday morning fairly early.
This is the 2nd-in-importance library on campus, serving primarily the undergraduate population with their everyday needs. The larger, main, library has more books and serves all levels of research.
This is what you might call "the back" of the structure.
