Great to meet you today.

Andrew Eberlin @eberlin.co.uk · 2d

Excellent. Elliott is leading that one while I’m leading the 11.30 one but I’ll go on the 10am one too as a taster. Look forward to meeting you.

The Thursday 11.30 tour is almost sold out. Three places left.

Andrew Eberlin @eberlin.co.uk · 5d

We’ve added another tour of Broadmead Baptist Church. The last one sold out rapidly so be quick if you’d like to see inside this recently listed church above the shops.

My pals @tom8enjamin.bsky.social and @eberlin.co.uk are putting on an exhibition about brutalist buildings in Bristol next week. I wrote a couple of things to help promote it, including this piece about brutalist car parks.

'Fascinating textures and abstract forms make car parks so interesting'

Multi-storey car parks might not seem exciting at first glance but they're often striking examples of bold brutalist architecture

5* review for a must-see exhibition at Tate Britain.

Lee Miller review – a dazzling, daring career from war photographer to surrealist pioneer via Hitler’s bathtub

An overdue showcase of Miller’s remarkable work follows its many frenzied twists – from her unrecognised work with Man Ray to unseen gems of the Egyptian desert and unflinching glimpses of Dachau

A little disconcerting!

It’s a very good example of how a building can be sympathetically brought up to date.

Andrew Eberlin @eberlin.co.uk · 8d

Thanks - I've signed up for the free tier and will review! Look forward to seeing you on Friday.

In Brutal London @grindrod.bsky.social wrote of Space House: “… an exciting shape filled with space-age verve, a building that looks as if it might be equally at home circling the globe in orbit.”

Here are a few photos from a visit with @c20society.bsky.social

It’s always a great read and inspired me on my recent trip to Truro.

Alban Gate, or 125 London Wall, in the City of London. The “shoulder padded office block” designed by Sir Terry Farrell whose death was announced today.

Andrew Eberlin @eberlin.co.uk · 13d

We are getting lots of good coverage in the local press and support from @themodernist.bsky.social. There seems to be a fair bit of interest. Let’s see if that translates into visitors. I can let you know at the next BoAPG meeting as it will be on day 2 of the exhibition!

I was going to alert you to another event for our BRUTAL Bristol exhibition… but it’s already sold out. We will try and get another tour for the afternoon…

“…. it looks like the world's biggest broken flight departures board, or the Evil Headquarters of an Evil Corporation where Evil People think up Evil Ideas.” (Will Noble)

Which is why I like Bastion House and The Museum of London so much…

Continuing on the Rupert St car park theme. Here’s a wonderful 1961 Pathé News video celebrating its arrival.

The revolutionary new MULTIDECK…

Thanks to the Bristol Post for this scan of an ad for the opening of Bristol’s iconic Rupert St car park. Due to be demolished for a couple more unimaginative boxes of student accommodation.
