Stilted house in Lee Over Sands, that has a huge amount of character despite the seemingly brutal architectural design. Stark yet practical, as this areas does still flood at very high tides.
An homage to Pink Floyd's Animals album cover. Just need to hang a floating pig between the chimneys.
Seen through the "twin" towers from Kalemegdan.
This was my first attempt at brutalism architecture, I am satisfied with the result, but the next one will not be in minifig scale. I do not have that many LBG parts :). And I am missing symbolism in all of this.
The 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

Make of this what you will but I rather liked the angled shadows look liken of those profits graphs you sometimes see . . .
A view along Francis Street in the city's Longwood Medical Area sees the facade of the 1980 brutalist Brigham and Women's Hospital main entrance as well as the imposing chimney of the Medical Area Total Energy Plant, completed in 1986, a tri-generation micro-grid power plant servicing the mission-critical work of the numerous hospitals, research institutions, schools and colleges in the district. Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Una vista a lo largo de Calle Francis el área médica de Longwood de la ciudad ve la fachada de la brutalista entrada principal del Hospital Brigham and Women's de 1980, y la imponente chimenea de la planta de energía total del área médica, completada en 1986, una micro-red de energía de tres generaciones, planta que da servicio al trabajo de misión crítica de los numerosos hospitales, instituciones de investigación, escuelas y universidades del distrito. Boston, Massachusetts, Estados Unidos.
This is an abandoned Soviet-era concert hall on the outskirts of Tallinn, Estonia. It was built as part of the 1980 Moscow Olympics, and in its heyday held concerts by big names like Duran Duran. Now it’s mostly abandoned and crumbling away, in a very eerie post-apocalyptic way. The kind of place I love!
For an account of my travels to Helsinki and Tallinn:
Lingonberries and Space-transcending Crows: Helsinki and Tallinn
The "Cheese Grater". I love this building in downtown Montreal. Real name is Chateau Champlain, built by Roger D'Astous.

I'm not too sure about the paintjob, though.
Design (1975): Newcastle City Engineers and Planning Department.
Looking back from St James Park tube station entrance, perched between Petty France (on the left) and Queen Anne's Gate (on the right), the Ministry of Justice stands formidably firm and resolute against Westminster's varied skyline, exuding an Orwellian Totalitarian sensibility with its Brutalist lines.

In lieu of everything that’s happened these last seven years, it feels important that this institution becomes aware of men who are emotionally and psychologically raped and bullied by women… And does something about it.
As several men (who work in professional and respectable jobs) have said of late, they fear nothing is being done about it in this country, and the true figures are remaining immensely under reported, not only because of societal conditioning and stereotyping, but also because of bias and inequality, especially when looking at similar crimes that are committed by men and women, with very different verdicts being bestowed on men and women, showing how sexism clearly plays a role everywhere (see Robert Henley Woody’s book entitled “Risks of Harm from Psychopathic Individuals” that briefly mentions this problem).
If equality between the sexes is to ever be spoken about and addressed fairly and with itegrity, then it needs to cover every facet of our lives, both those obvious and those not so obvious. We need to remain ever vigilant against biases and taboos, as well as psychological abuses, making sure we look out for everyone: men, women and other genders alike. Regardless of which ever group we identify as, we owe it to ourselves to look after each other.
