The style of architecture that so uniquely defines the City, but, again, not exactly a cheery view at a place meant for healing.
The only therapeutic value in such sights could perhaps be through a mind-body intimidation of patients into getting well and getting away from a rather morbidly grim aesthetic.

Windy childhood memories, when my sister's youth orchestra played here, and it seemed very far away.
The amazing, brutalist Cité radieuse (Unité d'Habitation) de Marseille by Le Corbusier. A masterpiece and really ahead of it's time when it opened in 1952.
Shot with a Bronica Zenza ETRSi fitted with a Zenzanon PE 75 (wide angle) and Kodak Ektar 100, 120mm film.

Brutalist architecture in San Francisco emerges as an intriguing juxtaposition against its iconic skyline. Defined by raw concrete facades and bold geometric forms, these structures stand as monuments to the city's modernist aspirations. From the imposing angles of the Transamerica Pyramid to the austere elegance of the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, brutalism leaves an indelible mark on the urban landscape. Its uncompromising aesthetic challenges conventional notions of beauty, inviting contemplation and debate. Yet, amidst the bustling streets and vibrant neighborhoods, these structures assert their presence with a sense of stoic permanence, embodying the city's dynamic spirit and architectural diversity.

Barbican is one of the best examples of how the British did brutalist architecture in their own way. This residential complex has around two thousand apartments, and it was built in an area devastated by bombings during the Second World War.
We were there for the second time last Sunday and took too many pictures of it.
Hilton Chinatown, 750 Kearny Street, San Francisco (formerly Holiday Inn), 1971. Architects: Clement Chen (designer); John Carl Warnecke (project architect). A pedestrian bridge connects the hotel to Portsmouth Square. A rooftop pool with a direct view into the Transamerica Pyramid may be the cherry on the sundae.
What you say? Yay or nay?
Bank of Africa
Nein, nicht wirklich, es ist wohl eine Bank, frag mich nicht was. Sie erinnert mich aber an Lomé, die Welt-Hauptstadt des Brutalismus. Ich bin ein totaler Fan von dieser Architektur.
Klar, Trapani ist ein wenig provinzieller - aber das kann sich doch sehen lassen, oder?

The development of Lake Macquarie has been characterised by the growth of a number of small villages which eventually became the centre of thriving townships and developed into large suburban areas, coalescing to become the City we know today.
Charlestown is one such suburb. It experienced an unparalleled and massive development, between 1961 and 1971 which saw the population increased by about 70% to a total of 21,000 people, making it the largest suburb in Newcastle at the time. This growth, coupled with the rapid introduction of sewerage services to the area lead to a dramatic increase in the use of water and necessitated substantial increases in infrastructure and utilities.
Although a reticulated water supply was established in Charlestown in 1927 and water tanks were provided to Dudley and Whitebridge in 1928, Gateshead in 1942 and Mount Hutton in 1948, these were not enough to cater for the extra demand. In December 1968 the Newcastle Herald announced
"Hunter District Water Board announced plans yesterday for a 70ft. water tower on the reservoir at Charlestown. The tower will cost $60,000 to build. It will be seen for miles around. The tank will store 50,000 gallons of water and will help step up water pressure. The board president (Mr Duncan) said the shape of the tower had been carefully considered since the structure would be conspicuous."
The distinctive shuttlecock shaped tower was designed by British architectural firm Scherrer and Hicks, based on an existing tower in Hertfordshire. Work was completed and the tower became operational in 1969. It is thought that the concrete used in the construction of the tower was made by contractors from Finland.
Strategically sited on one of the area's highest hills, the tower commanded a sweeping view over an area from Port Stephens in the north, to the Watagans, and south along the coastline to beyond Swansea.
The area around the tower had been informally known as Charlestown Lookout for quite some time. In 1976 the lookout was formally renamed Centenary Lookout as part of Charlestown's centenary celebrations that year, and picnic tables and landscaping were put into place. The lookout was officially opened on April 30, 1976.
When the Madison Motel opened on land adjacent to the lookout in October 1981, there was much controversy as it blocked the view to the north east from the lookout. Although several designs for viewing platforms on the tower were put forward in an attempt to restore the view, for various reasons none of these ever eventuated.

Photographed at a nearly abandoned mall in Espoo, Finland, thinking of Aki Kaurismäki's recent movie Fallen Leaves which I have not seen yet. Both this mall and Kaurismäki's movies take you a few decades back in time.
