I have photographed many staircases but this one from Prague is a remarkable piece in my collection.

The staircase is located in Nova Scena, a theatre building constructed around 1980 in so-called Brutalist architecture style. Even though the origin of Brutalist is not "brutality" I find the staircase looks a bit brutal with all its edges and the monstruous, almost terrifying chandelier 😄

Cameron Offices, Belconnen, Canberra, ACT. The architect was John Andrews, who also designed Callum Offices in Woden and student accommodation at two Canberra Universities including "Toad Hall" at the ANU.

Detail shot of High Point, Bradford, West Yorkshire. Built in 1972 for the Yorkshire Building Society. This building, which dominates the West Gate, Bradford skyline, has been empty for many years. It is now in the process of being developed into apartments. Original architects: John Brunton Partnership.

All the angles reminded me of the brutalist movement.

Here's one from Chicago. Brutalist architecture tends to have a lack of concern to look comfortable or easy.

Hope your Saturday is both comfortable and easy.

I've taken a few pictures of this car park over the years; I just like the inter locking levels - I'm sure there's a proper name for that.
