brutalism architecture by Gottfried Böhm
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.

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

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 ...

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.

More brutalist architecture at the Barbican. This was taken looking up from the bottom of a stairwell.
Dinosaurs, not always the prettiest beasts to wander the earth, but impressive and fascinating they were. And extinct.
I feel the same about these endlessly fascinating but taste-sensitive brutalist monsters.
This one, Blakeburg, like many, is under threat of being demolished. A true waste...
Design (1977): Jan Hoogstad.
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.

Spending a few days in Genoa is a great change of pace, both culinarily and as a photography challenge. For the architecture photographer, the "washing machines" above Pra are particularly interesting.
From the post-war era until the 1980s, Italy experienced massive internal migration from the rural south to the region between the major production centers of Milan, Turin, and the port city of Genoa. The migrants hoped to participate in Italy's post-war economic miracle. A beautiful landscape full of olive and fruit trees had to make way for the "Pegli 3" building complex, which was intended to provide housing for 20,000 homeless residents of Genoa.
The buildings were cheaply constructed and left as raw concrete, which is why the architectural style is referred to as "Art Brut" or Brutalism. The round holes in the concrete panels, intended as sunshades, are clearly visible from afar and gave the structure its name: "Le Lavatrici," or "The Washing Machines."
