Worst Places to Live + derelict buildings + other fascinating urban architecture + brutalism

The carpets were gone by 1989

Modernisation

Sadly they were demolished in the early 1990s.

Happily the glamorous centre that is Runcorn Shopping Centre remains.

My fascination with derelict buildings - pubs in particular - is definitely PSYCHOSEXUAL on some level

Or EVERY

The Southgate estate makes for quite an interesting read.

Reminds me of this BEAUTY in Tokyo.

Reminds me of this BEAUTY in Tokyo.

Was this in the Wolverine film?

Should we perhaps move all this wonder and beauty to a new DERELICT LOUNGE?

I can adapt the title. We're still kinda looking at a mix of derelict and just shit!

Actually, leave it as it is. I quite like it when the content of threads jumps around a bit anyway

And in this case

Oh I've done it now. I think it's more than broad enough now!

I believe they're gonna take it down

Shall I restore it?

This is turning into one of my favourite topics!

Can you guys imagine how I was visiting Habitat 67 in Montreal?

I don’t think Mr L could sit comfortably for a week after our visit.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

That's the kind of thing I'd design on graph paper aged 12.

FUCK ME.

 

[Lucille]

Obviously I adore habitat 67. The apartments inside are beautiful also.

 

[Mats]

I'd move there in a heartbeat

Do we have anything we should know about in Denmark?

Oh my ACTUAL FUCKING DAYS

I love how from across the review it looks like a city that’s been BOMBED.

 

[lolly]

I really fucking LOVE concrete

I really fucking LOVE concrete

My campus is a cacophony of concrete. It's not as beautiful as many of these but I like this photo I took of it.

Preston Bus Station is a Marmite moment. Personally, I love it!

 

[Lucille]

FABULOUSLY BLEAK!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Going back to actually AWFUL Northampton bus station was/ is absolutely hideous.

 

[jyxz]

Oooooh - who wants to come to Serbia?

not my photo btw but it was a fascinating house. I believe they're going to tear that one down as well, FOR SHAME

 

[Kate]

Ooooh. A bit like Trellick Tower in double. I love that there's a pizzeria at the bottom

i remember me and my friends broke into the derelict children’s hospital on hackney road in london some years ago. walking around you could see eery cartoon figures up of donald duck and mickey mouse. there was even old cancer imaging equipment stuff there. it was both eery yet fascinating.

it’s obviously been demolished since and luxury flats being built in its place. only the façade survives.

 

[Zu]

There was always something quite alarming and (I would definitely say) haunted about that building. I normally fall into despair and rage when they rip old buildings down, but I was honestly quite relieved to see the back of that one, as much as I’d definitely have been up for a nose around inside before it was demolished

a derelict children's hospital, the 48 bus running past

it was a different time

 

[Zu]

Speaking of rage as I was, don’t start me on the death of the 48

This is instantly my new favourite building EVER. I see from Wikipedia that the shorter tower is empty (OMG imagine getting in there ) and, even better, “the revolving restaurant above it stopped turning” (if very much )

SINGLE TO BELGRADE PLEASE!

they took away my beloved 66 last year there are family members I don't visit anymore because it's just too inconvenient now

I’m afraid this might be my final post in the lounge because I am currently DYING OF EXCITEMENT! !
