Cool photos, but brutalist architecture has got to be the ugliest crime perpetrated by architecture against cities in the 20th Century.
Toronto was in the midst of a huge boom during the late sixties through to the end of the seventies, the heyday of brutalism. Grey concrete abounds in this city and it's monstrous, heavy, grey and imposing. I hate it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robarts_Library But thanks for the link. Wonderful photos despite buttons it pushes. :-) Cheers, frank On February 22, 2016 10:36:51 AM EST, Mark Roberts <postmas...@robertstech.com> wrote: >http://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/gallery/2016/feb/22/building-the-brutal-barbican-peter-bloomfield > > -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -- Henri Cartier-Bresson Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail.
