Epidemiology and Public Healh Building, at Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut, 1965 by Philip Johnson
Pretty brutal architecture but I like it for some reason, this facade is just too cool.
I wanted to see how it is inside but when the alarm went off... you know what I mean ;)

There are clear divides of opinion when it comes to Preston bus station, especially in the local area. There were plans to demolish it at one point, but English Heritage keep defending its heritage status. The building's at its best in the sunshine, but with Preston being famously grey, that's a rare occurrence.
From 21 September to 24 November 2019, The Harris Museum & Art Gallery, Preston held an exhibition “Beautiful & Brutal” celebrating 50 years of Preston bus station. The Helvetica arrows directing visitors to the exhibition are the same style as those used in the car park above the bus station.

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.
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.

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.
