East-Pasila is a fascinating neighbourhood with brutal architecture and blocky houses. Here is a shot under a pedestrian bridge, which I find charming.
New City Hall (1965)
Another image from my quiet, solitary Sunday morning at City Hall.
This image is part of my Brutalist Toronto project. Brutalism is a style of architecture, popular from late 1950s to the early 1970s, which emphasized "heavy, monumental, stark concrete forms and raw surfaces" - Dictionary of Architecture and Construction
Fitzwilliam College, University of Cambridge. Taken with Fujifilm X-E1, edited with iPhoto. Old MBP stolen, so down to basics at the moment:-( It's a brutal world out there. One way to look at it is that someone is loving my work:-) Thankfully most of the photos were backed up. Well, there were a few I'll miss. Never mind, onwards. Each day is a beauty. And I'm even more determined to enjoy that beauty and attempt to capture and share some of it.

In 1974, The Guildbourne Centre was opened which was a stark contrast to the old streets and the historic buildings of Worthing.
It was described as the most brutal construction in those times .
In the heart of this seaside town, it was opened by Stanley Elliott, the mayor of Worthing in 1974.
The centre comprised of shops, offices, flats, and multi-storied car park. There were rumours that a ‘posh cabaret restaurant’ would be opened and well-known stars will come to perform at the elite venue. This never materialised.
Occupying an enviable position in the heart of the town, the Centre has had a troubled recent past with many shops failing to thrive. In more recent times Wilkinsons & othershave helped to lift the area but ,Today, it feels desolate, lonely and unwelcoming inside. Maybe time for demolition and to grace Worthing with something better.
A couple of 1970s cars drive along Route 34 (The Oak Street Connector). At the time, the highway was only about 10 years old. The lack of cars is amazing by today's bumper-to-bumper standards.
Doncaster Magistrates and Law Courts - looks like a nuclear bunker from the outside or indeed something impenetrable.
I love Brutalist architecture. Brantford has some great examples if you know where to look. I took this shot in Blue Hour with my Pixel 6a cell phone.

Architects Chamberlin, Powell and Bon's Brutalist masterpiece the Barbican Centre in the City of London. Endlessly explorable the Estate is a concrete maze of innovate 1970's architecture, a self-contained city, which includes; a theatre, art gallery, cinema, library, tropical plant filled conservatory and residential towers among much more.
Architecture tours of the Barbican Estate take place regularly and I highly recommend them if you wish to learn more about the buildings design and gain access to some of its hidden features.
