I have a special relationship with brutal architecture. Prague is full of it if you know where to look – this building is close to where we live, the home of Financial and Social Administration of the Czech Republic. So fitting.
This 12 story high-rise building located in downtown Jacksonville, Florida is 155.58 feet high and is used as a switching station. The structure was built in 1972 in the Brutalism architectural style and has an exposed structure as its facade.

This image is from Washington, DC in 2019, but I don't remember exactly what I was shooting. Something tells me it's a government building...

During the late 1970s, the National Coal Board (NCB) began development of a new coalfield around Selby, North Yorkshire and with the associated subsidence risks to the fast East Coast Main Line a diversionary route for the ECML was authorised under the British Railways (Selby) Act, 1979. Construction of the first purpose-built section of high-speed railway in the UK commenced on 29 July 1980 and the 14-mile section opened on 3rd October 1983.

This photo was taken 7 years ago today, on 22nd November 2016. I've just rediscovered it on my hard drive.
The building in the photograph is Robin Hood Gardens in Poplar, East London. Sadly, in my view, the greater part of this once very large and imposing brutalist social housing site has now been demolished and redeveloped. The architects of the original building were husband and wife team Peter and Alison Smithson. I believe this was their only residential housing design in the UK.

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.

With big thanks to Markus Lehr for taking me there and to other places that I had never seen before in Berlin! I only had a few hours of time but we managed to see so much.

Unquestionably the most beautiful Brutalist building in Toronto.
This building has been photographed thousands of time by much better photographers than I, but I know why - it's a pure joy to photograph. I had the place essentially to myself on a quiet Sunday morning and every way I looked at it it was monumental and gorgeous. This is absolutely the best of Brutalist architecture.
This image is part of my Brutalist Toronto project. Brutalism is a style of architecture, popular from late 1950s to the early 1970s, which emphasized "heavy, monumental, stark concrete forms and raw surfaces" - Dictionary of Architecture and Construction
