The Pearl, Newcastle upon Tyne.

 

Design (late 1960s): T.P. Bennett and Son.

 

The Pearl stands out as a bold example of Brutalist architecture in Newcastle, creating a striking contrast with the city's other architectural styles:

 

It towers over nearby Tudor and Georgian buildings, highlighting the city's architectural evolution.

The juxtaposition of The Pearl with historic structures like those on Grey Street showcases Newcastle's architectural diversity.

 

Into the block, Lambeth.

Eye pleasing style? No, not really. Fascinating only on how ugly it can be. ; )

BRUTALISM IN BOSTON: where concrete becomes character.

From stark geometries to sculptural overhangs, these architectural forms don’t just occupy space—they challenge it.

Swipe to see the corduroy-textured columns that ripple like fabric frozen in stone. A tactile rhythm carved into the city’s rawest corners.

A pocket of rain at sunset paints a beautiful rainbow over medical buildings near Vancouver General Hospital. The 20 storey building in the middle is famous for it's Downtown Vancouver views from a dentist chair. That'd be the Frank Stanzi Building (aka 805 Medical Dental Building) built in 1974 and the style of architecture is called "brutalism". To the right of this highrise is the Fairmont Medical Building. Broadway Plaza Building on the far left. I'm standing on the west side of the Granville Street Bridge looking over eight lanes of traffic, False Creek, Granville Island and into the Fairview neighbourhood.

This photo reminds me of looking over a balcony at rainbows in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Raised Faculty Building, University of Cambridge, January 2024.

Originally built in 1973, the building formerly known as the “Charter House” is a recognisable part of Ashford’s skyline, as well as its heritage. It was once the headquarters for “Charter Consolidated”, at the time a large corporation with mining interests across the globe, most of which were located across the continent of Africa. Because of this, many heads of African states visited Ashford, one being the first President of Zambia, Kenneth Kaunda, who was known as Africa’s Ghandi.
