  1. 🛸 Buzludzha is a massive Communist monument in the Bulgarian mountains.

    Its Brutalist saucer design and 107m tower with a red star made it a landmark of the Eastern Bloc. Since 1989, harsh winters and neglect left the interior and its 25 tonnes of mosaics in ruins.

    Now recognised as endangered heritage, the site is undergoing vital stabilisation. There has been preservation to protect the hall’s dome and mosaics.

  2. Six years ago this week, I was in #Belgrade to see the Western City Gate, also known as Genex Tower or Kula Geneks in Serbian.

    This is a massive #brutalist skyscraper in Belgrade and can be seen from all around town.

  3. The brutalist 40 George Square (formerly David Hume Tower) looks better in a B&W photo in spring light & shadow than it does in real life

    Ironically historic buildings were ripped down by the Uni in the 60s to make space for this, now after decades it itself is a listed building!

  9. The Bierpinsel is one of Berlin's brutalist masterpieces. It once housed restaurants, bars, and even a nightclub! This tower was designed by the same people who worked on the ICC Conference Center. It used to be a great place for nightlife in the area. Sadly abandoned since 2006, it now stands empty.

  10. Voted ‘Britain's ugliest building’ when it opened in 1967, the #brutalist Southbank Centre has finally been granted listed status:

    It would be good to think a certain book cover — which proudly features said slab of uncompromising #modernism — may have played a small role in its #architectural rehabilitation.
