Avala Tower, Belgrade, Serbia. Built in 1965 by the project of Uglješa Bogunović, Slobodan Janjić and Milan Krstić. Destroyed in 1999 by air strikes, rebuild by the original project in 2010. One of the most famous example of Yugoslavian socialist-modernism and brutalism. Picture of the tower was in a exhibition "Toward a concrete Utopia" that opened to the world Yugoslavian modernist architecture.
Bochum University was built in the late 1960s in the style of Brutalist architecture, which sought to show the construction and materiality of architecture as explicitly as possible. The image shows the main lecture hall as the central point of the landmarked campus ensemble. #fotografie#photography#blackandwhite#Bochum#RUB#architecture#BrutalistArchitecture
Drumchapel Water Tower. Built in 1954 to provide consistent water pressure to the (then) new housing development of Drumchapel on the western edge of Glasgow. This is one of a series of similar Brutalist water towers built around the city in the 1950s.
While looking for a 'Greek' Thomson villa around the back of Glasgow University this morning, I seemed to accidently stumble into an M.C Escher painting!
The Brutalist Boyd Orr Building. Part of Glasgow University, it was designed by Dorward Matheson Gleave and Partners, and was built in 1972. Love it or hate it, there's one thing for sure, you certainly can't miss it as you go up University Avenue!
