How has no one posted OCAD yet? This is one of Ontario's most prestigious art colleges, and it is a blistering eyesore.

Bavarian state chancellery:

The two wings of the building were destroyed during WWII and then rebuilt in a modern style. The building was the Bavarian army museum originally.

The statue in front of it is part of the Bavarian Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

And here's a Brutalist favourite of mine; the Alexandra Road Estate. Perfect for filming a 70s scifi movie:





That looks like a pleasant place to live in. Reminds me of the athlete quarters built for the olympic games in Munich.

The one he built in Marseille is packed full of his fan boys (including Jonathan Meades) and it looks pristine and wonderful, so you're probably right about that.

How did they get that perfect glassy-mirror effect? Or is it water? At first I thought it was some kind of polished-something.

It's a pool.

They replaced it with a terraced park / shopping arcade now . It's a mall so its not all that great, but it ends up being a pretty cool way to add usable greenspace to the city
