For ten days in October 2021, the brutalist concrete structure known as the International Congress Centre Berlin was open to the public as a unique experience of film, performance and art. We visited the ICC Berlin on the first few days of The Sun Machine is Coming Down, a celebration of the 70th anniversary of Berliner Festspiele.
Since we are big fans of brutalist architecture, visiting the International Congress Centre Berlin was always in our sight. This gorgeous landmark of German architecture is massive beyond comparison, making it one of the largest congress venues in the world.
View on the former airport of Tempelhof in Berlin, Germany, from the rooftop. Incredibly huge building! So worth it to book a guided tour!
This is the Markel Building at 5310 Markel Rd, Richmond, VA.
It opened in 1965 as the headquarters for The Markel Group, and it's architecture resembles a baked potato wrapped in aluminum foil. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.

the comments I have added to some of my photos can be read together as a kind of mangled, yet surprisingly brief essay on hansen. repetitious and opinionated, it reflects the writer above his subject, but until someone does some serious research on hansen, a complete lack of competition makes me immune to criticism. enjoy :)

Nestled at the end of Portobello Road Market stands this Erno Goldfinger master piece. Another bit of brutal architecture which has been on my list of "must sees" for a long while. However, I didn't love it in the flesh as much I thought I would. I have my ideas why but I don't want to share them publically. LOL.
It's listed and a marvel to look at especially on the balcony side. The other of his beasts is on the north side of the Blackwall tunnel... Can't imagine its views are anywhere near as fabulous as its sister in North Kensington but I imagine they're still bloody amazing.
Dark mood tonight. Anyone know any funny jokes?

Having participated in the Photo24 Challenge recently, myself & Tim Scott decided another trip into London would be a great idea. This time I only took my little Sony RX100 mk3 & iPhone with me as the thought of carrying my Canon 5d mk4 & associated lenses in 30 degree heat for the day was just too much. Ultimately, this was the right decision & whilst at times the image quality & ability to get certain shots that the Canon would have given me proved frustrating the small bag & weight far outweighed this. We arrived in London at 10.15am & headed straight to The Barbican for some brutal architecture shots, then made our way across London taking in various sites along the way, ending up in Brick Lane for a curry at 7.30pm.

a single bay in the south facade. the roof was originally corrugated like so many of hansen's later buildings.
