a small gem of cologne's post-war modernist church architecture can be found in heimersdorf. it has a cruciform floor plan and is clad in panels in various shades of anthracite. the monumental rose window is the building's outstanding feature. unfortunately, the building was under construction when i visited, so i wasn't able to see the interior. it's a shame, because it's a little brutalist gem. at least you can always visit it digitally at: https://kurzlinks.de/ptkc

Visto desde la terraza de un amigo, este edificio ubicado en Yatay 129 parece una antigua sala de cine. A nivel de la calle no. Quizás @cremedelacremeba lo incluyó en su mapa brutalista de Buenos Aires y nos da una pista. #buenosaires #facade #arquitectura #urban #brutalism #brutalarchitecture #architecture #neverstopexploring #ciudad #buenosairesargentina #buenosairescity #buenosairesarquitectura #mimiradaporteña #argentina #brutalismus #caba #caballito (en Caballito, Ciudad autónoma de Buenos Aires!!!) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjdcRyKOmzK/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Austria still is something of a hidden gem for admirers of Brutalism: nine states and a very diverse topography provide a unique background for architects to cultivate regional idioms engaging with the surrounding topography. This diversity also was the point of departure for Johann Gallis and Albert Kirchengast and their book „Brutalismus in Österreich 1960-1980: Eine Architekturtopografie der Spätmoderne in 9 Perspektiven“, published late last year by Böhlau: it collects nine expert essays shedding light on the development, key protagonist and essential buildings of Brutalism in each Austrian state. These are preceded by a lengthy interview the editors conducted with the curator of the SOS Brutalism exhibition Oliver Elder and Nott Caviezel, long-term professor of historic preservation at TU Wien. The interview serves as introduction to the characteristics and qualities of brutalist architecture, its conceptual history but also discusses its reception in Austria in particular. The subsequent nine essays then enlarge upon the interview’s cues and provide very readable miniatures of the brutalist developments in each Austria state. These include, among others, the transformation of Bad Gastein through plannings and buildings by Gerhard Garstenauer, Karl Schwanzer's Vienna churches and his influence on postwar church architecture or the outstanding works of Herwig Udo Graf and Matthias Szauer in the Burgenland. Each essay is accompanied by numerous vintage and occasional contemporary illustrations that highlight the indisputable qualities of Austrian Brutalism but also the individual interpretations of it. What emerges is a highly readable portrait of Austrian Brutalism and the socio-cultural circumstances it flourished in. Naturally the book doesn’t provide a complete picture but is apt to raise additional interest in the manifold exceptional buildings designed between 1960 and 1980 in Austria. A diverting and warmly recommended read!

completion: 1975

the brutalist townhouse with its corners and edges blends in well with the row of houses and sets its own accents. if you stand directly in front of it, it is hardly noticeable, but from the side the structures become apparent.

das brutalistische stadthaus mit seinen ecken und kanten, fügt sich sehr gut ein in die häuserzeile und setzt dabei ganz eigene akzente. wenn man direkt davor steht fällt es kaum auf, aber von der seite betrachtet erschließen sich die strukturen dann.

Concrete Dream 1 von Martin Siegel Über Flickr: Brutalist holidays in Sicily. We saw quite a few holiday villas in Fontane Bianche in a kind of Brutalist architecture. Maybe the local concrete dealer had good offers that nobody could refuse. This is stitched from two frames made with the Rollei A110 (Tessar) on Lomography Color Tiger 200 using Autostitch.
