Dunfermline is pretty short on 1960s brutalism architecture and, until lastnight, I was blissfully anware of the existence of this example. Opened in 1969 and nowadays a shadow of its former self, Lynebank Hospital was a residential facility for adults with learning difficulties. The advent of Care in the Community saw its activities cut back and most of its services are occupational or wellbeing based. This building housed two small lecture theatres with tiered seating.

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.
Stilted house in Lee Over Sands, that has a huge amount of character despite the seemingly brutal architectural design. Stark yet practical, as this areas does still flood at very high tides.
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.
