Digging up this old thread for #BrutalThursday: Oita Medical Hall (1959-60) and Annex (1970-72): Some views of its impressive interior spaces [III]. #brutalist #architecture https://t.co/gL5ZAuHx2h

#BrutalMonday: Writing (again) about megastructures and #film. In this case, about John Andrews et al's Scarborough College (currently Andrews Building, University of Toronto Scarborough, @UTSC, 1963-64)

So let's all enjoy these magnificent aerial views. #brutalist #architecture

A wee walkabout after a shoot in London and finally made it to the Grade II Listed Alexandra & Ainsworth Estate this eve. Been meaning to visit for an age. Loved it. A Cinematic concrete palace from a different world.

Looking closely at some of the impressive 'modern classicist' details of this building before I close this #BrutalFriday. #BrutalMonday: Basil Spence: British Embassy, Rome (1959-1968/71) (III) #Brutalist #Architecture

On today's #BrutalMonday, a buiding that's fascinated me since I discovered it at the 'Beyond the Harvard Box' exhibit at the @HarvardGSD in 2006: Victor Lundy's enigmatic IBM office building at Garden State Parkway (Cranford, New Jersey, 1965) #Brutalist #Architecture

#BrutalMonday, Continuing with my John M. Johansen series on a happier note, let's all rejoice today on the beauty of his, perhaps, most widely appreciated building: the Robert Hutchings Goddard Library (Clark University, Worcester, Mass., 1965–1969) #brutalist #architecture

[Klaus Toons @klaustoon]

Hi there, it's #BrutalMonday again, so let me start by vindicating one of my favorite brutalists: Here, John M. Johansen's Taylor Residence (Labyrinth House), Southport, Connecticut, USA, 1966 #Brutalist #Architecture https://t.co/MD35YQov3A

@Getintothis @GrimArtGroup @modernistsoc @SOSBrutalism @BrutalHouse @veredes @BarnabasCalder @klaustoon Nice, I'll give it a read 🙂

[Brutal Constructions @BrutalConstruct]

@Getintothis @GrimArtGroup @modernistsoc @SOSBrutalism @BrutalHouse @veredes @BarnabasCalder @klaustoon Shame, noble aims and a great aesthetic. Such issues a key reason why so many have such a dim view of the architectural style.

Runcorn, Southgate Estate - 1977. The definitive #brutal new town.

Demolished between 1990 and 1992.

I almost forgot it's #BrutalMonday. Well, here's Walter Schrempf & Otto Herbert Hajek's magnificent Dining Hall in the Universität des Saarlandes (Saarbrücken, 1963–70) via @SOSBrutalism (click for original pics and photographic credits): https://t.co/lJjoChsedr #architecture

Hello everyone! The spire of St Agnes' church has been a part of Easterside for 50 years. People are proud of it but its future is uncertain. The spire should stay & be at the heart of our community. Agree? Give us a follow!
