EVENT: A walk exploring the social, political and architectural legacy of early 20th century and post-war Islington and Clerkenwell. Modernist Islington will introduce the social, political and architectural background of early 20th century London, visiting Berthold Lubetkin`s significant works there, the estates at Bevin Court, Spa Green, and Priory Green, as well as the majestic Finsbury Health Centre. We will also view the Brutalist Camden Town Hall Annexe and Weston Rise estates near Kings Cross, the towers of Finsbury Estate and Turnpike House, and finish at the beautiful Golden Lane estate in Clerkenwell, next to the Barbican. Throughout the walk, we will be discussing the influence of the Modernist movement on London`s post-war urban regeneration.

4 aprilie. Ploiești.

Astăzi am trecut din nou pe lângă clădirea aceea de locuințe veche de pe Bulevardul Castanilor. Cea cu poarta verde și copacul galben care înflorește mereu prea devreme. E încă acolo, exact cum mi-l aminteam. Balconul se cojește, vița e uscată, cablurile sunt în prim plan, dar forsythia… refuză să dispară. Ca o bucată încăpățânată din trecut care se încăpățânează să revină. Nu știu de ce m-a emoționat. Poate pentru că unele lucruri rămân tăcute, fidele, chiar și atunci când totul în jur se schimbă.

Inside the semi-abandoned Soviet observatory – Radio Optical Telescope – ROT54 finished in the 80`s in Orgov Armenia (formerly in USSR).
The ambitious project was proposed by the Armenian engineer Paris Herouni in 1964, however the construction works started in 1975 and it was finished in 1986. The observatory was only active from 1987 till 1990 due to breakup of the USSR and wars in Caucasus thus lack of funding of the project, nowadays Herouni`s niece is starting an ambitious plan to restore the project, so hopefully the telescope will be operating again!

I’m taking a little trip to the US soon. I couldn’t help myself and had to make a mini PlyForm of one of the buildings I’m excited to see.
Can you guess where I’m going?
The clue is in the music title.

Any tips or places you think I should check out? I haven’t been to the US for a very long time (pre smartphones).

On my bucket list is trying a Baked Alaska.

• Wrocław Manhattan, 1973 • One of the most striking examples of post-war modernist residential architecture in Poland, designed by Jadwiga Grabowska-Hawrylak. The complex consists of six high-rise apartment buildings with sculptural faсades and concrete balconies, featuring a bold blend of fluid lines and geometric rhythm.
The original design envisioned smooth, white concrete that would shine in the sunlight like marble. Plants were supposed to grow in the window recesses and climb along the façades, bringing nature into the architecture. Each rooftop was planned to include a shared common room for the residents.
Unfortunately, due to budget cuts, these ideas were not realized. The buildings were completed in raw concrete, giving them a rougher look and making them a prime example of Brutalist architecture.

Pestana Carlton Hotel.
Funchal, Madeira.

The Whittington Estate by Pater Tabori comes to mind with this part of the hotel. Stepped apartments providing balconies overlooking Funchal Bay.

HOVE TOWN HALL
BRIGHTON & HOVE

New Building Added to FREE digital Map

Designer:
John Wells-Thorpe
1970 – 1973

Description
Hove Town Hall, constructed between 1970-1974, stands as a distinctive brutalist landmark in Hove, East Sussex. Designed by architects John Wells-Thorpe and Partners, the building replaced the original Victorian town hall which was destroyed by fire in 1966.

Its façade features dramatic geometric forms with deeply recessed windows and strong horizontal lines. The building’s sculptural quality is enhanced by the rhythmic pattern of protruding concrete elements and the play between solid masses and voids.

A signature brutalist feature is the building’s top-heavy design, with upper floors that appear to float above a recessed ground level. The interior continues the brutalist aesthetic with spacious public areas, exposed concrete surfaces, and dramatic staircases. The council chamber, with its stark geometric design, further emphasizes the architectural movement’s commitment to bold functionalism and structural honesty.
