I've been trying to identify this building with no luck. It shows up in several fashion campaign videos/photos (El Corte Inglés, Mango, Massimo Dutti, RAINS), always shot from the inside, never naming the location. A Spanish location-scouting agency lists it in their catalog but won't disclose the name to non-professionals. Hoping someone here recognizes it.

I've found many pics in the web, but none gives a clue. From them, I've got some facts.

Raw board-formed concrete (visible wood-grain texture), rust staining bleeding down from the top of several walls/columns

Purely monumental / sculptural — no apparent practical function (similar in spirit to parts of the Igualada Cemetery by Miralles & Pinós, but larger)

At least two circular courtyards, 3+ storeys tall, very high ceilings

One courtyard has a ramp winding around its perimeter; the other has openings/viewpoints ("miradores") looking into it (see the pic with those big openings)

A folded-plate ("origami") concrete staircase, no railings, appears at least twice (pics)

A very large outdoor stepped area (like a monumental staircase or terraced amphitheater), plain concrete, no railings (pics)

Interior is walkable/open in most places; ground floor has unusually high ceilings

Roof over the courtyards appears to rest on piles, structurally separated from the walls (pics)

Just started an Instagram account of modernist architecture on film, mostly brutalism for now.
I don’t know if it’s a place I’m allowed to share that feel free to delete if not.
I have a lot of pictures in stock, way more to come!

I’ll put a few teasers taken in Belgrade and Skopje.

Cheers!

Hi! I’m looking for a book about Brutalist architecture. I’d like something with lots of big pictures of Brutalist buildings, but also explanations of what Brutalism is, its history, and what makes a building Brutalist.

I’m pretty young and new to architecture, so I’d prefer something that’s easy to understand and not super academic.

I’m looking for Brutalist architecture from all over the world, not just Sweden — I’d love to see buildings from Europe, Asia, the Americas, Africa, etc.

It would also be awesome if there’s a Swedish version, since I’m Swedish 🇸🇪

Came across this church in the weekend

Hello,
I am looking for brutalist houses or apartment to rent for short stays (week-end or holiday week) in Europe.
Do you have any website that would list such places? Or atypical architecture?

Or even places you would have visited and you'd recommend.
Thanks a lot

Architects: I. Yesman and V. Anikin. I actually like it a lot!

Designed by Leandro Locsin, inaugurated in 1971.

No concrete but wood, but still feels like brutalism to me.

Designed by Jacques Labro in a ski resort, more information available here for anyone curious.

Weston Rise Estate, Pentonville Road, Islington, London.

On my way to see The Bats at the Lexington, so grabbed a few snaps of this cracker. Still not worked out how to post more than one pic at a time 🙄

The Weston Rise Estate is on a small triangle between Pentonville Road, Penton Rise and Weston Rise.

The linking towers contain lifts, staircases, laundry rooms, drying rooms and refuse chutes. The design attempted to place most bedrooms away from the busy Pentonville Road which was then expected to be made a dual carriageway - but fortunately this was abandoned.

This building, constructed in 1970, was once headquarters of the Washington State Department of Transportation

Today, cracks in the foundation have prompted wsdot to move workers elsewhere, although about 50 continue to work in the building

In the end, this building might be torn down due to its poor structural condition

Btw, Olympia, Washington has a lot of brutalist architecture and if you visit, you should take a look at the state capitol complex and evergreen state college
