I've been there actually, it's Santuario nuestra seņora de Coromoto in Venezuela, near Guanare. You can't really tell from that picture but it's gigantic. it's always reminded me of some kind of rocket launching facility.

The interior is pretty brutal, too.

I wonder what the acoustics are like in there. Lots of concrete, odd angles, that metalwork up high muddling everything, it's glorious.

That's a nice Czech hedgehog they have got there, perhaps the architect was trying to pay homage to ww2 German fortifications.

Wait a loving minute, what would you do if you had a class at group 3 but you were not of the appropriate gender for the bathroom and there was already a class going on in group 2?
:psyduck:
Why take a detour around the whole building of course! Bathroom main hallway is unisex though with gendered stalls along the sides so you could always go through the corridor of piss stench if you wanted to.

Have an mspaint of that place:

Also pupils are only ever allowed to use the entrance nearest to their group. The yard doesn't actually have a separate entrance for group 1+2, I forgot to draw a line there. If you're in group 1 or 2 and come in through the western gate you need to go around the bottom and groups 3 through 8 coming in the eastern exit the same in the opposite direction.

E: And yes there was a lineup and headcount outside before going inside with the entire class so groups 1-3 couldn't cheat and use the entrance on the opposite side.

How do they get in and out of the rooms? :v:

There's door holes, but no actual doors. So you can see and hear every single person walking down the hall. You can also hear the louder classes down the hall due to the paper thin interior walls.

Would this count as brutalist or would it be 'modern' or what?








Either way, that is/would be the perfect amount of green-gray balance for brutalism.

Supposedly the original owners hadn't updated/maintained the house since it was built and it needs a lot of work.

I know, looking at that makes me so uncomfortable :( That must've been so much more difficult to install than a normal, properly placed window.

And what is that support on the top for?!

And... is the siding at an angle? It looks like the siding is at an angle. Is it just compression? Is it photoshopped?


This is just mocking everyone who looks at it.
