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.
P.S. 306 Ethan Allen (Pedersen & Tilney, 1960). A shifted-bar scheme in plan, framing a couple of courtyards. Unless you're the type to really gaze at the rhythm of concrete joints, the only sops to decoration are the mildly sculptural cast-in-place stair towers at the ends of the bars. The scale's nice, and you can see that they tried to get the frame to double as a shading element for the generously glazed facades - though today, the trees are clearly contributing a lot more to this project.

This majestic building was originally opened as a public housing complex in 1980, with views towards the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
It has now been sold to a private developer, who will refurbish it for units. Let's hope they retain all of the features that make this one of the best examples of brutalism in Australia.

Birmingham Central Library, due to move to a brand new building upon its completion.
An example of brutal architecture, the building was once described by Prince Charles as "looking more like a place for burning books than keeping them".
Chances are, the building will face demolition once the service moves, as it has twice failed to gain listed building status.
There's a campaign to save it from this fate over on facemuck, if you care, please have a look :)
