The Muthu Glasgow River Hotel overlooking the Clyde. It currently looks more abandoned and on the way to ruin than in the process of being renovated, although there were more cars on the car park than the small signs of building work near the lobby might suggest. #Concretopia #Brutalism #Architecture #Glasgow
Goooooood Morning FediVerse!

The iconic #Trellick Tower grabs all the attention but the estate itself adds a different dimension to the area, bringing life. #brutalist #concrete #london #concretopia #erno #goldfinger #architecture #photography #canon

Over on bookshop.org I’ve created some further reading lists based on my books #Concretopia, #Outskirts and #Iconicon, where you can find tons of books on #architecture, #modernism, #SocialHistory, #MidcenturyModern #design, #brutalism, #PostModern architecture, #TownPlanning, #urbanism #SocialHousing and #ModernArchitecture in general. It was fun putting it together and you can support your local indie bookshop on there too. Have fun having a rummage!
