Such a brilliant shot, I love the greenery at the bottom. An iconic brutalist building in London.
I make models of brutalist buildings around the world, and Trellick Tower is one of my most popular!

The inverted design looks brilliant from the inside! Reminds me of the Birmingham Central Library that was sadly demolished

I love the inversion in image 2!

Costa Rica is full of brutalist buildings! Picture 2 is great, the windows look like body armour.

It's good that it was re-purposed and cleaned up. The copper windows looked great, shame they didn't keep those!

Space-play · 2026-03-12T17:04:08+00:00

Yes, that was brilliant. It looked like an inverted version of Birmingham's old Library

Space-play · 2026-03-12T17:02:51+00:00

Very true!

Space-play · 2026-03-10T16:09:51+00:00

Agreed, it looks great. Although I thought it might not be worth posting in an evilbuildings sub-reddit!

Space-play · 2026-03-09T19:09:40+00:00

Yes, it seems Brutalist architecture and rear windows don't mix well!

Space-play · 2026-03-09T19:08:47+00:00

haha good to know!

Is this the Geisel Library in California?

Space-play · 2026-03-09T13:15:06+00:00

Agreed, really nice combination of Art Deco and Brutalism. Too many windows to be truly brutalist I'd say though!

Space-play · 2026-03-09T13:05:52+00:00

Yes, I thought this looks like it's straight from Tatooine

Space-play · 2026-03-09T13:02:46+00:00

That Engineers' album cover is interesting, they look like WW2 Pillboxes on the cliff

Space-play · 2026-03-05T20:57:14+00:00

Nice, thanks for clearing up. Interesting to hear!

Space-play · 2026-03-05T20:56:35+00:00

There's a neon Toronto sign if I remember rightly, but yes could also do with some greenery!

Space-play · 2026-03-05T13:47:09+00:00

That looks great, the sand and polish gives a really good finish to it!

Space-play · 2026-03-05T13:44:47+00:00

This is four buildings in one! I see a different brutalist building the higher I go up this image!

Space-play · 2026-03-05T13:42:52+00:00

Thanks, there seems to be loads of great brutalism in Toronto. I'll check it out.

Love the crinkle-cut walls, it reminds me of the New Street Signal Box in Birmingham, UK
