The return of 60's brutalism
Copyright ©2012, Mike Leadbetter ♥ ¤
Hideous new building in Ashford, Kent, a railway hub bombed to bits in the war which has suffered almost as badly from slovenly architects and dreadful town planning. Slight variation on Silver Efex Pro's FP4 for that 'decade we'd all like to forget' feel.

That's new? The entrance and columns look like some dreary post-war build. There is a DSS building in Bishop Auckland called Vinovium House that I particularly loathe.

Finished last summer. A cheapened version of some of the East London Docklands horror shows.

I wonder how long architects would be in business if their name was displayed prominently on the building? It looks like some wort of warehouse conversion from 30 years ago. What is that diagonal piece? Looks like something has fallen off. :-))

That's exactly what it looks like to me. And aren't those thin pillars vile??
