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.

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

I spent last night writing about car parks as part of the PR for an exhibition on brutalist buildings in Bristol that's happening in October. We do have some interesting ones. This one, on Rupert Street, is from 1960 and was designed by Swiss architect Rudolph Jelinek-Karl.

Not really Robert. Many of the exhibitors will be posting on social media and details should go out to people on the Modernist’s mailing list.

Would like to put something together about the history of Wyndham Court. It would be great to include a written aspect, possibly even interviews, but a bit out of my league.
