Yes, I know. But this really is the last of the Perth brutalism series. Nicely capped off with a tribute to Iwan Iwanoff, all of the photos today were taken at Curtin University - Perth's own little slice of brutalism in the burbs. Just around the corner from the Iwanoff sculpture, is a tribute to the other great heroes that also died in 1986 - Lionel Ritchie, Billy Ocean, and Falco.
Now, there is only one type of building that has more of an impact, and looks better, than a concrete brutalist box - a crumbling, abandoned building. Nothing beats a crumbling building. Nothing. Hands down. So, enjoy the last of Perth brutalist architecture (really!) you will see on this blog for some time (probably).
Coming soon - Perth's abandoned buildings...

excellent photos and blog on the perth Brutalist movement of the 60s.
have you considered doing a write up on the Jan ter Horst house (20 Moran Street Beaconsfeild)? not only is it classic 60s Brutalist but it also has a very interesting story to go with it.
if you want to know more about it i can help you out as i know the architect who designed it in the first place
urgh. I have to look at these atrocities daily. not cool Iwan, not cool at all.
Keep up the good work, please post any buildings on your findings, great blog..........

Hi there. Feel free to comment, but keep this in mind:
This is a happy place, lets keep it that way, together. In this day and age of spam and idiots, I need to check every comment before it gets published. If it's now 2013, odds are I'm on a tropical beach somewhere in South East Asia, or possibly checking out some abandoned Soviet-era architecture in Eastern Europe, and maybe your comment won't appear for some time. But leave one anyway! If you have a personal message for me, I won't publish the comment, so feel free to submit it here. Thanks for checking out 6000TIMES, and have a nice day.
