Another great piece of architecture likely to fall to the wrecking ball. Link to NY Times article below

If it's built anything like the Brutalist
steel-and-concrete examples I know, they're gonna need more than a wrecking ball.

People are Brutal to Brutalism
It would be such a shame if Rudolph's government center doesn't get saved, it seems Brutalism gets such a harsh reaction, but in fact some of the most fabulous buildings are Brutalist ones. Another great building by Rudolph is the Milam Residence built in the early 1960s with an amazing use of concrete framing...
