Back in September, I was part of the crowd that explored one of the best examples of brutalist architecture in Berlin: the ICC, aka International Congress Centre Berlin. Since this wasn't my first time visiting the place, I knew what I wanted to do, and I went there prepared for it.
I took my Mamiya RZ67, my tripod, and a few rolls of film just to see if I could capture the lights, size, and structure of this place as best as I could.
For those who do not know, Ralf Schüler and Ursulina Schüler-Witte designed the ICC Berlin, which from a distance resembles a strange sci-fi spaceship. They are also responsible for the excellent Bierpinsel in Steglitz. The ICC Berlin dates from the 1970s. Some people saw it as innovative architecture and a look into the future.
Because it made the German capital one of the world's most significant congress cities, the ICC Berlin was a turning point for the city. Millions of people have flocked to the Messe Berlin fairgrounds for decades, but this massive building is dormant. This colossal venue has been closed since 2014, untouched due to problems with asbestos. Occasionally, though, they let people in, like in September of last year.

Some examples of brutalism architecture at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. This one is of the Mosse Humanities Building (although from the design, it might better be referred to as the inhumanities building).
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.

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.

The massive brutal architecture of Sizewell B power station on the suffolk coast. The fishermans beach is an interesting corner and it is soon easy to ignore this ugly lump of concrete.
These are my first location shots for my project on 1950's to 1970's Brutalism.

The modernism / Brutalism architecture of the 1960's epitomised by the Riverside Centre in Keynsham. It is the site of council offices, retail outlets, and a leisure centre that faces the high street on one side and the memorial park duck pond on the other side.

Oh dear. Locked no keyholder. Apparently the south door is open (but this is not made at all clear) and I've had my hand slapped by Fr Booth. He is, of course, correct in implying that I should have checked all the doors but, in my defence, I found the brutal architecture of the exterior so ugly that all I wanted to do was get away - and anyway the church, in my opinion, appears so unwelcoming as to positively discourage exploration.
