Good evening all! Some very interesting facts and buildings mentioned! I think the Gallion estate (apologies for incorrect spelling) as featured in A CLOCKWORK ORANGE takes some beating as brutalist architecture! I will check out Plymouth; I like the way Percy Thomas treated the towers on the Severn crossing; and when I look at other buildings he had a hand in, the connection is easy to see!

Favorite building? A toss-up between the Bilbao Guggenheim and the Petronas twin towers in KL, Malaysia. I hope to see both of these in the flesh at some point!
