Fantastic- they seem so dystopian now. Love the architecture

Derwent Tower, Gateshead. Interesting design.

I believe the six point blocks at red road were actually taller than blue Vale and white Vale.

Literally hurts my eyes. And triggers my vertigo. I’d love to understand how people find brutalism attractive/exciting/human.

As you watched the video, half of you were hoping your town/city was number 1 in the list and the other half were hoping their town/city didn't appear at all.

I had a friend that lived in peregrine house “ top floor terry “ on city road Ec1 good views but not when the lifts didn’t work . 😰

Very depressive looking buildings indeed.

Appalling - how architects and planners get away with treating people like zoo animals is hard to understand. The people responsible for structures like these are sub-human.

Was the future, but was left to fail so could been sold off or destroyed for rich people
