The great union win and wonderful outcome for working people was the social experiment of the Sirius Building in Sydney’s The Rocks.

It now sits empty of the people it was built for and up for sale as the weekday pad for the rich.

LNP’s disgraceful legacy on display for all to see.

Vietnamese architects and historians consider the years from 1940 to 1975 the golden age of Vietnamese modernism. In that period, major modernist public buildings such as hospitals and hotels were designed and constructed.

I couldn’t resist to get this book. I love eco brutalism, the mix of concrete and plants 🌱

Here's 2016 cement brutalist fortress for sale and you have to be pre-qualified to buy it before they will even show it to you b/c it's listed for $65M. It has 5bds, 10ba, and it's in Beverly Hills, CA.

Here's the entrance. It doesn't really look like a house.

And, this is actually the entrance to the living room.

I don't know if this motorcycle is parked here or if it's decor.

Harsh lighting and there aren't any tables with lamps. No decor, either, unless you count the bike.

There's a view of the pool lit up at night, and the city below.

The only patio furniture is a pair of chairs on a small platform in the pool. It looks like the ceiling lights in the living room changed color. Now it looks dismal.

This is the most interesting fireplace. It looks like a furnace.

I think that this is the kitchen counter with a table in front.

The large kitchen is all stainless and looks commercial.

The rounded hall has lights at the bottom and top.

I'm assuming that this is the minimalist primary bedroom.

Check out the bathroom sink.

Matching space-age tub has writing on the front, like it's a vat of some sort.

The home office has some wood, which makes it look a little warmer.

This looks like the hall to the home theater b/c it looks like they have movie posters on the wall.

The cement home theater.

And, here's a bar.

In the basement, this looks like it could be an art studio.

The interior court looks like an arena. I don't know what the circle is. It doesn't look like a fire pit.

There's some greenery around the pool area and also around the perimeter of the house.

When I was a lad growing up, we revered the monthly Reader’s Digest so much that it had pride of place in our loo.

The publication is long gone, but the brutalistic Sydney HQ shell remains on the corner of Adelaide and Waterloo Streets in Sydney’s Surry Hills.

It’s hard to take a good shot as it is ugly on all angles.
