  • In the last five pages, I have not seen anything that truly makes me not like what I am seeing. So, sorry, I just like too much varied architecture. Bruitalist, towerblocks, mega malls, underground labyrinths ... I appreciate them all (so far).

    What now?

    ^^^ YES! Even that one. I don't care, something about it reminds me of the slaughterhouse district where I grew up. Loved the smell. Still to this day. And also, like I mentioned before, there should be Soylent Green made there. Or maybe it's an eastern European "international" airport.

  • I bet those penthouse flats are quite nice because its the only place around, you do not have to look at that concrete monstrosity.

    Don't get my wrong I'm all for brutalist, but this one is just too disorganized.

    I wouldn't call these two brutalist but they're finally demolishing Cavendish House in Dudley which has been a blot on the landscape for years (and that's saying something in Dudley):

    And Wolverhamptons Indoor Market has finally gone. What an utter ****-hole that place was. The regeneration is going to take a while but the plans for it I like the look of.

  • I agree, I appreciate the history, but they are ugly, made even more ugly by the councils allowing a lot of the blocks to become slums. The flats near me, of this era, in Mitcham had about 25-30% scum bags living there who probably made a lot of the other tennant's life a mysery.
    Sod it!

  • That Wolverhampton one doesn't look too bad. I bet inside it smelt of **** and had chavs wandering about annoying people :))
