Barbican is one of the best examples of how the British did brutalist architecture in their own way. This residential complex has around two thousand apartments, and it was built in an area devastated by bombings during the Second World War.
We were there for the second time last Sunday and took too many pictures of it.

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.

The city’s skyline can change in an instant; Modern London invites you to sit back and survey the scene so far.

One of the most prominent examples of Brutalism architecture in the United States. Completed in 1968, building has been subject to nearly-universal public condemnation and is often called one of the world's ugliest buildings. Calls for the structure to be demolished have been regular since before construction was even finished.] However, architects and critics considered it excellent work, with one poll finding architects describe Boston City Hall as one of the ten proudest achievements of American architecture.
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.
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.
Went for my graded exercise therapy session this morning, then carried on to work. Walking from Farringdon, this collection of brutal beauties caught my eye - The Shakespeare (pub) on the left, the Golden Lane Estate in the middle, and some Barbican stairs on the right. All the brutal!
Had a good day at work, but SO tired. Glad to get home this evening (on my delayed train) and that I'm working at home tomorrow.
