I love modern brutalist architecture. This is a modern building, built atop a traditional street level building. If you don't look up, you would never see it. I do hope the cantilevered section is over engineered and carefully built, so it will last for hundreds of years. If I ever moved, I would love to have one of those balconies overlooking the canal below, with my office/studio in one of the corner windows just to the right of the terraces.
Modern buildings don't need to be boring.
I am on a digital detox. This post was written ahead of time and scheduled to appear today. I have not missed posting at least once per day in over a decade. While on this detox, I will not have internet access many days, when I do have access it will be limited. Please continue to leave comments, but I may not reply to comments. I will read comments when I can. Normal service will resume in late May.
A fascinating view. But I can’t stop thinking about Ben & Jerry‘s Chunky Monkey.
ReplyDeleteI like the Brutalist architecture, too - the raw concrete and its geometric shapes. It's an imposing style and sure catches one's eye.
ReplyDeleteSome people think brutalist buildings are windowless cells, but many have great windows focusing on great views.
ReplyDeleteI love the point of view of this photo!
ReplyDeleteI like some of this style, but overall I'm generally not a big fan of brutalist architecture.
