White wall tyres adorn Stagecoach in South Wales Alexander Dennis E30D 27276, one of 15 allocated to Cwmbran depot for "gold" Service X24 (Blaenavon-Pontypool-Cwmbran-Newport), as she finds a gap in the long winter shadows whilst passing under Newport's Old Green Interchange in late December 2016, and as a Newport Transport Scania OmniCity traverses overhead.

 

Contrast the brutal architecture of the Interchange and its spaceship style lighting with the open countryside that the X24 covers between Blaenavon and Varteg Hill:

During the 1970s this building provided many local people with employment until the mining corporation “Charter Consolidated” moved away around the turn of the century, when it subsequently stood empty until it was sold for residential conversion in 2020.

 

While some parts of the concrete facade of “The Panorama” are looking slightly worse for wear, generally the building is in a good state of repair.

Danville Finance Office, formerly First Financial Bank, 17 West Main Street, Danville, Illinois. A stunning example of brutalist architecture. The ellipses are actually drive up teller windows for the former bank.

The desolate Anderston Centre, Glasgow, a deeply unlovely place, even as it was being built, passing it in 1969 I remember thinking how ugly it was and the years haven’t helped - although, astonishingly, the good readers of an architecture magazine, Prospect voted it in at number 54 in the best 100 modern Scottish buildings. #anderson #andersonglasgow #glasgowarchitecture #scottisharchitecture #brutalist #brutalism #brutal_architecture #brutalistarchitecture #architecture #glasgow #glasgowcity #glasgowcitycentre #geometric #patterns #glasgowblackandwhitephotography #blackandwhitephotography #monochromatic #monochrome #desolate

Another attempt at brutalism architecture. A terrace apartment building made for the Swebrick Brick Challenge of April, 2017. The challenge part is technically not a brick. It is part 2432, modified tile 1x2 with handle.

Lofty exhibition space at Espoo Museum of Modern Art, EMMA. The museum is located in a former printing house building which is widely known for its 1960s - 1970s concrete brutalism. This photograph doesn't give you much of an idea of the style of the building as a whole but it does a good job portraying the endless windows on the sides of it.

It’s been a short while since I last posted, as work has kept me quite occupied. But amidst the busyness, I've been eagerly anticipating the moment I could dive back into editing photos from my latest trip to Japan. Knowing I have a few shots that I’m particularly proud of, it’s always been at the back of my mind to get back to them.

 

The image I’m sharing with you today is one I was especially excited to capture. As a huge fan of post-modernist and brutalist/metabolist architecture, with its bold concrete statements, this shot was a must for me. Even though it was a bit out of our way, I couldn't pass up the chance to photograph the ICC in Kyoto.

 

Designed by architect Sachio Otani, this unique building boasts an unusual hexagonal framework, resulting in few vertical walls or columns. It first opened in 1966, with an addition in 1973, and stands as a rare remaining example of Metabolism in Japan. While the exterior is breathtaking, the interior is even more fascinating. I'll be sharing images of the inside later.

 

I hope you enjoy this glimpse into one of Japan's architectural gems!

It's not Brutalist without concrete, an abundant amount of concrete.
