I have a fondness for brutalism because it reminds me of being in university buildings as a kid, which nerdass me thought was super cool

Me too! Then I found on out my two favorite brutalist buildings were a govt tax building and a police station; hardly futuristic :(

I dunno if Johnathan Meades is your cup of tea, but his concrete poetry series about brutalism is pretty neat imo.

Channel Meadeshrine on youtube has most of that series which covers .. well all sorts of architectural traditions across the last few hundred years.

Brutalist buildings can be really good, but the typical brutalist building just isn’t. They style’s portfolio is cursed by being cheap, popular, and enduring.

Many architectural styles benefit from survivorship bias. Brutalism doesn’t have that. Lot of poo poo buildings went up and few of them have come down. They’re not even the good kind of enduring. They’re in disrepair, but not in a way that threatens imminent collapse. Demolishing them would be extremely expensive, so they crawl along in tatters.

Oh I've seen that building while riding Amtrak! Looks like the County is owed half a million in back taxes and so is auctioning it. That looks like such a mess to try and clean up / renovate. https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Churchill-Who-wants-to-buy-the-Central-Warehouse-16171337.php#taboola-6

This is an old photo but it's hard to find more recent pictures of the place that show the whole building with even more growth:


It's an exposed concrete skeleton within which the apartments can be freely modified, including the plumbing.
The greenery also makes it cooler than surrounding buildings in summer, and a haven for birds.
Of course we can't have nice things so it's the only one.

Edit: it's in Osaka and is called Next21
Here's another picture showing one of the corridors:

Modern M80s are bullshit. Can't just go to the Co-op for quarter sticks anymore either.

I kinda doubt they're available in England anyhow, where the pool is.

I was investigating a loss in Sea Isle City, NJ, about a block from the beach. Raccoons had gotten into a small crawlspace area on the ground floor, which was elevated 10' because the house was on pilings (per code for the coast).

The owner was alerted to the issue by the fetid small of raccoon poo poo emanating from the registers when he ran the heater. The furnace unit was located at grade under the house. Turns out they'd torn through a spiral duct and had been nesting in the ductwork all winter.

One of the features of coastal areas is the relentless wind. Blows almost all the time, and this day was no exception.

I needed to see if they'd gotten into the HVAC unit itself, so I unscrewed an access panel to check the plenum. As I removed the last screw, the entire panel blew outward and I was treated to a faceful of raccoon poo poo, dust, and whatever piss-covered dross they were using for nesting material. My mouth was open.

Somehow, I did not contract hantavirus or any of their lovely parasites. The smell haunts me today.

You're not fooling us. PainterofCrap didn't write this; it was the hantavirus spore colony that's taken over his nervous system, trying to throw us off the trail.

Watch it full screen and watch her heel... around 4-5 seconds it lifts away from the roof... it's not stuck.
