I chose this because it's so grim looking but makes light of it, sort of romanticises it and tries to find some special unconventional beauty in it, which seems a British kind of thing to do. As well as diligently recording things.
I also chose this because it really appeals to me, I find concrete beautiful as well, and lots of things that are supposed to be ugly, like pylons and mobile phone masts. I think Brutalism is lovely when it's done right, (considering it's surroundings and purpose and the climate it's going to be in) as well, I was going to choose something Brutalist for one of the design things but most of them are a bit old and I wanted to look contemporary...
