Not Brutal Enough

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.

    Why get sentimental about all this old stuff when it is most properly replaced by 12-storey residential mixed-use infill development ?

    Good brutalism is hard to find. Crap brutalism is everywhere in our universities, especially Curtin and Murdoch. Studying at Murdoch is like studying in a concentration camp.
