This area is packed with car during the week and very busy so it was a nice just to walk here and see the brutal architecture of ITAR TASS building
The Draper Estate in Elephant & Castle, S.E.1. Draper House, the tower block element still stands today. Castle House (right) was demolished to make way for 'Strata SE1', a 43-story residential development by Brookfield Europe.
The campaign to save this gem moves on this week as World's Monument Fund puts it on the "at risk" list.

And pouring softdrinks onto the pavement as I walk: "Ah the Lafayette Parish Courthouse, erected 1965." [pours out a softdrink]
Imagine how surprising it would have been if the white southerners of the mid-1960s had had the aesthetic foresight to align the center column of their imposing government building with the center line of the street it overlooks.
Speaking of white southerners of the mid-1960s, from 1965 to 1985 inmates were warehoused without air conditioning on the building's baking hot top floor. Casual sadism was rampant in daily life!

DEWAN TUNKU CANSELOR (DTC)
Built in 1965, Dewan Tunku Canselor (DTC) is a landmark for University Malaya. It is here that the convocation ceremonies for
graduation have been held annually since August 1966 and to the hosting of numerous functions of the university including semester
examinations, special studio class, theatres performances, seminars and conferences. DTC was designed with a strong influence of
Brutalism Architecture and Modernism Movement. The two and half storey building was constructed mainly with off-form concrete
structure using egg-crate reinforced concrete ceiling and ‘beton brut’ images. On June 29th, 2001, a pre-dawn fire gutted the
building and almost ninety percent of the building was destroyed. The Faculty of Built Environment, University Malaya
participated in the effort of reconstructing the building to its original condition.
Note: CAMPUS BRUTALISM
In the late 1960s, many campuses in North America were undergoing expansions and, as a result, there are a significant number of Brutalist buildings at American and Canadian universities, beginning with Paul Rudolph's 1958 Yale Art and Architecture Building. Rudolph's design for the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth is an example of an entire campus designed from scratch in the Brutalist style.
Bierpinsel is the work of Ralph Schüler und Ursulina Schüler-Witte an architect couple who also designed the brutalist ICC Conference Center in Berlin-Westend. The original concept that came from the couple was that of a tree shape, but I don’t think this idea is there today. It looks more like a crazy Lego creation than anything else. Either way, it took four years to build it, between 1972 and 1976 and, according to the legend, it got its nickname due to the amount of free beer that was served on the opening day.

In early October, 2021, we took our cameras inside the ICC for the exciting The Sun Machine Is Coming Down, and it was great to take pictures inside this massive building.

Some examples of brutalism architecture at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This one is of Van Vleck Hall.
The Catholic parish church of the Resurrection of Christ was built between 1964 and 1970 according to plans by the architect Gottfried Böhm in the Lindenthal district of Cologne. The two architects Wilhelm Jungherz and Klaus Micheel were also involved in the design.
The church building illustrates to a large extent the idea of architecture as sculpture.
The church is excellently integrated into the urban planning. It serves as a vanishing point for the Lindenthal Canal, which is lined with avenues. At the end of the canal, wide staircases form squares, which are bordered on the sides by community buildings. Finally, the church rises together with the parish tower.
The staggered height development with projections and recesses and beveled edges creates a sculptural character. At the north-west corner, the open spiral staircase emphasizes the tower. The plastic effect is reinforced by the calculated use of the material colors, the change from reddish brickwork to light exposed concrete surfaces.
The floor plan is asymmetrical and polygonal. The angles and niches resulting from this in the outline are assigned liturgical tasks. Together with the different room heights and the reduced incidence of light, the room is given liveliness. The building appears as a walk-in sculpture. The windows, also designed by Böhm, are predominantly red-glazed. Together with the reddish masonry, they reinforce the cave-like atmosphere.
