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.
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.

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.

We weren't aware of this one when we set out for the other two buildings (see previous uploads), but when reading up on those online I came across this one and we had to find it. It's stunning. Or, at least I think so (I doubt many Parisians second that emotion). It is so, SO cool I'd love to buy it and live in it. Not only the structure itself, but also the terrace it stands on, which has a very interesting pattern of mosaic and circular concrete pylons, almost invisible through nettles and other plants. It looked abandoned, yet it had a poster in one of the windows of an event that took place last year and there was an Orange (telecom provider) van hooked up to it, so there must still be something happening. This is a former location of CNET, the Centre National d'Etudes Telecommunications, or the national research center for telecom, which was a ministerial research center formed in 1944 and, amongst many other things, a major influence in the space age. A suitable research space, I'd say. I read just now that, through reorganisations etc., it has now morphed into Orange Labs, which would explain the truck.
So we went a walk the other day with little inspiration... I saw these steps and came up with a plan for the day - brutallist architecture!
