Cantilevered

Sears Building (1971)

I wanted to shoot a picture straight up from under this cantilevered building but it isn't easy because it's all fenced off during its retrofit. I had the perfect spot picked out but when, a few days later, the clouds were right and I showed up, some guy had parked his car right in the loading bay where I wanted to shoot. It took some contorting to get a half decent angle but I'm not totally unhappy with this one.

Brutalism is a style of architecture, popular from late 1950s to the early 1970s, which emphasized "heavy, monumental, stark concrete forms and raw surfaces" - Dictionary of Architecture and Construction

Feel free to look at the rest of the images in my small (but growing) Brutalist Toronto set.
