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?
This is the Hampton Coliseum at 1000 Coliseum Dr in Hampton, VA.
It opened in 1969 and sports some absolutely gorgeous brutalist architecture. It can be seen from Interstates 64 and 664.
Sears Building (1971)
I wanted to shoot a picture straight up from under this cantilevered building but it isn't easy because it's all fenced off during its retrofit. I had the perfect spot picked out but when, a few days later, the clouds were right and I showed up, some guy had parked his car right in the loading bay where I wanted to shoot. It took some contorting to get a half decent angle but I'm not totally unhappy with this one.

Feel free to look at the rest of the images in my small (but growing) Brutalist Toronto set.
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.

Using up some old film in an old 5x4 pinhole camera, still unsure as to wether it's worth it, but I like this one...

The Ontario Institute for Studies in Education is the home of the teacher's college, as well as graduate programs in Education, at the University of Toronto. When I did my B.Ed. we were at FEUT (Faculty of Education, University of Toronto), just down the road, so I have never spent much time in this building.

Lasdun first proposed this style of accommodation for Cambridge. He intended that a student should be able to get from bed to a class in five minutes.
"The rear of the blocks is concealed below the walkways, with car parking and bicycle racks. To the front, the stepped section made possible rooms that have a high part facing the countryside and a low part to the rear, making the stairs slightly less steep, with only 12 steps between each floor, but the inner parts of the rooms consequently very low."
