demolition of apollo house and hawkins house is a massive shame, says me.
Maybe if they had maintained them. But I think buildings like that start to look rundown very easily. Says I.
agree completely – but they just needed to be cleaned once in a while
not sure if it was brutalist but canada house on earlsfort terrace (?) was a really nice building. demolishing that was a crime.
I love this! Great twitter account’s for this sort of stuff are @sovietvisuals and @BrutalHouse. You’re welcome.
Will take a look, thanks! I’m 100% ignorant about brutalism: I just like looking at them.
