Leopold square

Central library

Steel City house

 

Modern:

Crucible

Winter gardens

Moorfoot (Needs a rethink)

Parkhill

What about the cementation furnace on Doncaster Street? It is quite unique and I believe the only one in the UK if not the world

 

That's awesome, never knew it was there, thanks for sharing.

For me it's the Arts Tower. a half size copy of the building in Manhattan and a fabulous example of 1960s Brutalist archetecture. Clean lines and imposing presence, brilliant.

 

Its a scale copy of the Seagram building but it isn't brutalist.

No, it isn't, didn't think it was really. What type of architecture is it?

I would say it was an example of post-war modernist architecture in the International Style.
