Not Brutal Enough

Posted on April 4, 2017 by AHC McDonald

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.

Shedism Classic

Posted on January 12, 2017 by AHC McDonald

Baffling piece of Shedism in front of Royal Perth hospital. There’s even a shedist covered walkway.

Chopstix of Time

Posted on December 6, 2016 by AHC McDonald

Finally the TAB has triumphed. Chopstix, documented as derelict over 8 years ago is finally gone. There was a brief resurgence as an illegal skateboard…place. A new cartridge world to come? Beaufort Street Inglewood. A sad and yet exhilarating day. … Continue reading →

Manky Alex Building 

Posted on November 1, 2016 by AHC McDonald

Came across secret DAP plans for Bayswater. But despite the cookie cutter brutality, it’s still better than what’s there now. The decrepit fish shop, the corrugated iron piss shop, the Fair Trade chunk of crap – all of it could … Continue reading →

Knobbing Off

Posted on February 18, 2016 by AHC McDonald

Check out Ray Sparvell’s classic “Nothing has happened still and again“, story on the Guildford Hotel. Although it seems the knobbing off ceremony is a little closer. I hope Outrage is on hand. Ta Bento.

Visiting Elizabeth Quay

Posted on February 3, 2016 by AHC McDonald

Well I guess I had to go down there. Well it’s not exactly bad, just a bit underwhelming and pointless. After the trees have grown for 30 years, there might be some shade relief to the merciless baking paving. The … Continue reading →

The Condemned

Posted on September 18, 2015 by AHC McDonald

How long before the Nedlands Council has this condemned? The setbacks and the parapet walls of stages 2 and 3 will be stillborn. By Pete F.
