No architecture for a while but this…
I’m a big fan of Brutalism, but this hodgepodge in Wellington Street is sad to say rubbish. Especially the colourbond addition. Nursing or something.

The rust plays a nice contrast against the weeds and mission brown panels.

Culleton Skidmark is now a recognised Pantone colour. At least until the High Court adjudicates on the appeal.

Why get sentimental about all this old stuff when it is most properly replaced by 12-storey residential mixed-use infill development ?
Nurses can learn what they need from home in the office or on the street .
