Dowgate Fire Station
#Brutalism
Man, I love that reveal in the doorway. Pity they couldn't find some way to incorporate it into that overhanging window balcony thing.
I sure do I like this, in a Death-Star-landing-bay kind of way. But I often wonder if my attraction is a leftover imprint from childhood, where Brutalism = The Future and The Future = Good, which certainly doesn't feel true anymore. And especially having seen a lot of much more banal examples around London, I defintiely understand Prince Charles's push to preserve and return to more traditional/vernacular/appropriate architecture, stuffy though his presentation may be.
