As I travel around Tasmania photographing Modernism, an architectural period that features strongly throughout the built landscape is Brutalism. There are a wonderful number of Brutalist buildings in Tasmania with a broad range of uses, and like all periods of design there are many in-tact examples throughout Tasmania. I love the use of concrete here and the way it splays on angles and the blue panels amongst the concrete mass. Just beautiful! The clarity and simplicity of repeating lines and angles is refreshing and its wonderful to see the original raw concrete panels still visible. As Brutalism has fallen out of fashion some buildings get painted over.
