London, England - July 10, 2016: Two people fly a large kite on Wormwood Scrubs common in west London, with the Trellick Tower and housing blocks of North Kensington behind.
The Westway (A40) Flyover curves over the Grand Union Canal with the Ernő Goldfinger designed, Brutalist styled Trellick Tower (completed in 1972) in the distance.
(dal terrazzo di casa mia). Scoprire dopo un mese che l'orribile palazzina davanti casa in realtà è una torre famosissima, ambientazione di motlissimi video.
"Trellick Tower is a 31-storey block of flats in Kensal Town, Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, London, England. It was designed in the Brutalist style by architect Ernő Goldfinger, after a commission from the Greater London Council in 1966, and completed in 1972.
"Goldfinger's design is based on his earlier and slightly smaller Balfron Tower in Poplar, east London. It has a long, thin profile, with a separate lift and service tower linked at every third storey to the access corridors in the main building; flats above and below the corridor levels have internal stairs. The building contains 217 flats and was originally entirely owned by the GLC with the flats rented as council flats. Shortly after its completion the building was transferred to the local council (the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea). Most of the flats are still social housing, but a significant minority are now privately owned."
