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.

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.

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.
