For those of you wondering: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brutalist_architecture

i feel like we don't appreciate these days how much the twin towers sucked, like, design-wise

they were contemporarily hated for just being these giant grey monoliths

like there probably could've been an easier way to get rid of them, but they probably needed to go either way

This windowless skyscraper was designed to resist a nuclear fallout – holding up to 1,500 people for two weeks, with 250,000 gallons of fuel to power generators, water, and food for the occupants. 33 Thomas Street, also known as the AT&T Long Lines Building is one of Manhattan's most unusual skyscrapers - a building made for machines, not people. Designed by architect John Carl Warnecke in 1969 for AT&T, 33 Thomas is 550 feet tall, clad in flame-retardant red granite panels, placed over precast concrete slabs. The building’s stepped massing, extruded volumes, and uniform rugged materiality represent the hallmarks of brutalist architecture. Inside, 33 Thomas houses an important telecommunications hub, which was the world's largest long-distance phone processing center when it was built. One of the major "4ESS switches" in the skyscraper acts as an "international gateway" for long-distance traffic. A recent investigation by The Intercept exposed the telephone switches inside 33 Thomas have come under the control of the National Security Agency, making the mysterious building one of the most important surveillance sites in the United States.

#FacadeFridays – Endo Laboratories in Garden City, designed by Paul Rudolph in 1962. We had the pleasure of visiting this brutalist complex – part of our Brutal NYC survey – last week and it is an incredible work of art. Dubbed the “Fortress for Pharmaceuticals,” the castle-like structure featured Rudolph’s iconic corduroy concrete facade. Endo is a highly expressive machine choreographing the most effective use for its client. Rudolph expresses Endo’s functionality, then adds an additional layer that is sculptural – a material expression to create art. Endo merges interlocking volumes and forms to articulate the spatial specificity necessary for the highly precise program needed for manufacturing pharmaceuticals. While some of the interiors appear generic, such as open office or production floors, they represent the specifically calibrated spaces for operation and production. Rudolph’s baroque exuberance comes through most clearly in the curving staircases; one at the guest entrance, and one leading to the pod-like cafeteria that is raised above the roof garden. Turrets, which house the functional systems from seating alcoves and air intake valves are distinctly Rudolphian in the way the building explodes out from its orthodox envelope. Not everyone appreciated Rudolph’s modern design. The complex was clearly visible to motorists on the Meadowbrook Parkway who were not as accepting of Rudolph’s artistic license. The LI Parks Commission responded by planting nine large trees in front of Endo, blocking the view from the Parkway. Visit our Brutal NYC survey at nycurbanism.com to learn more about Endo and see the other brutalist sites in the survey. #brutalism #brutalist_architecture #brutalist #betonbrut #brutalnyc #brutalism #concrete #modernism #modernistarchitecture #paulrudolph #skyline #gardencity #archilovers #architect #architecturalphotography #urbanism (at Garden City, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBECNGgHuYt/?igshid=1ej6x51guz7ju
