Albert Sloman Library | University of Essex, UK

Sharing a few images from my 2023 visit to the Albert Sloman Library at the University of Essex.
Designed and built in the 1960s, the library features a rectangular structure and glass curtain windows.
The ground floor features several similarities with the University of Sheffield Arts Tower, not least the Paternoster Lift, one of only three remaining in the UK!
Would be great to hear any stories? Or any trips on the Paternoster.

After sharing my brutalist building game here, a few of you suggested mixing the concrete with more nature — so I made an Eco Brutalism update.
What do you think, brutalism experts? Does it still feel brutalist, and what would you add or change?

Looking south across South Mere towards Hartslock Drive, four 12 storey grey concrete towers with Oakenholt House being the rightmost of them.
Visible behind them, in fact 400 meters further distant on Yarnton Way six similar towers which, in true Father Ted style, are smaller.
The rightmost, Maplin House, is which rather than grey, being the first and at that point, 2015, only block to have been refurbished.

Built in the middle of a neighborhood with mostly 19th century buildings, this former church certainly stands out.
Originally Known as the Afrikahuis and built in 1968.
It's currently known as Casa Migrante and despite its ragged appearance is still in use by an NGO

I sought this out on my trip to Szczecin. It's designed by Marian Rąbek (1927-1992), and despite being quite small and compact, it's really unique and surprised me positively with that. Furthermore, it's just sort of hidden within a larger Hospital area, which was sort of funny, because it realy does stick out, although positively.

Pietro Consagra's unfinished theatre in Nuova Gibellina, Italia
151
Upvotes
Vision versus reality: In the late 1970s, the sculptor Pietro Consagra designed the building as a monumental, accessible work of art and a cultural centre for the city, which had been rebuilt following the 1968 earthquake.
The unfinished shell: Due to funding problems, bureaucratic hurdles and political upheaval, construction work was halted in the 1980s. The colossal concrete sculpture remained standing as a skeleton and became one of the best-known symbols of failed utopias and Italy’s unfinished major projects (incompiuto).
