An art installation of a small, blue New England-style cottage titled "Fallen Star" perched precariously at a tilted angle on the edge of the roof of Jacobs Hall, a modern concrete engineering building at UC San Diego.

A detailed black-and-white technical illustration of a large hydroelectric dam depicted in an isometric or three-quarter perspective. The drawing uses fine cross-hatching and linework reminiscent of woodcut or engraving techniques. Water cascades dramatically through a central spillway or floodgate, churning into a turbulent pool below. The massive concrete dam wall dominates the composition, with two tall gate towers or pylons visible at the top. A rectangular powerhouse building with grid-patterned windows sits at the lower left. Rocky, vegetated terrain appears on the right side. In the background, a calm reservoir stretches toward distant mountain silhouettes under a horizon line. Annotated labels in Cyrillic script with connecting lines point to various structural components throughout the diagram, suggesting this is an educational or engineering reference illustration. The foreground shows geometric paved or tiled surfaces and water channels. The overall style is precise and technical, rendered entirely in black ink on a light gray background.

A large brutalist concrete building with a dramatic curved overhang resembling the bow of a ship or spaceship. The structure appears abandoned, with empty paved areas, fencing, and overgrown vegetation around it. Trees and greenery surround the site under a clear sky, giving a quiet, slightly eerie atmosphere.
Concrete Leviathan
The Palace of Concerts and Sport rises like a brutalist relic—monumental, silent, and slowly being reclaimed by nature. Built to impress, now it just watches

A low-angle photograph looking up at the top of the National Theatre in Waterloo, London. The brutalist concrete building features geometric stepped towers against a clear blue sky. A commercial aircraft flies directly above the building, framed between two of the concrete tower forms.
Concrete dreams and contrails. ✈️
Visited Southbank over the weekend and spotted this opportunity of a plane between the brutalist towers of the National Theatre

A towering brutalist structure dominates the center of the composition, rising in layered blocks of pale concrete that jut outward in sharp geometric tiers. The building appears like a monumental stack of interlocking slabs and corridors, with heavy horizontal platforms and recessed openings creating a complex architectural maze. The surfaces of the concrete are textured and weathered, with dark linear scratches and painterly marks suggesting age, erosion, or expressive illustration. Near the base of the structure, a wide staircase spreads outward into a large public plaza. Small human figures move across the steps and open square, their dark silhouettes emphasizing the immense scale of the architecture above them. The people appear scattered in small groups or walking alone, giving the plaza a sense of quiet activity. Several rectangular panels embedded within the building’s facade feature bold orange artwork. These graphic elements break the monochrome palette of gray and beige concrete, adding striking bursts of color that draw the eye across the otherwise austere surfaces. Behind and around the structure, faint outlines of other buildings emerge through a hazy urban background. The surrounding architecture appears softer and more traditional, contrasting with the raw, sculptural mass of the central building.

A low-angle shot of an office building's white honeycomb-style facade. Dozens of identical rectangular windows are recessed within a light-gray concrete grid, creating a deep, repeating geometric pattern. At the top of the building is a bright blue sky with thin, wispy white clouds.

Opened in 1982, the Barbican arts centre is a unique cultural institution. Built in the middle of the city of London on a former bomb site, the centre’s cultural offering was primarily dreamed up as entertainment for the 4,000 residents of the flats that tower above it. Today, more than 1.5 million people walk through its doors every year, making it one of the most popular cultural attractions in the UK.Comprising a theatre, concert space, art gallery and conservatory, the Barbican has been celebrated as a well-executed vision of mid-century communal living. The drab carpets and confusing signage will hopefully not be replaced. Photograph: Alicia Canter/The Guardian
Looks like the @barbican.bsky.social 🤍hope they don't lose the carpets in the revamp!
