These zines were the prompt for our recent BRUTAL Bristol exhibition. Buy them while you can! More people visited than we hoped and our 4 walks sold out demonstrating how many people are interested in the city’s post-war architecture.

Back in stock for a limited time. After a very successful exhibition of BRUTAL Bristol I have decided to run a few more zines for those that missed out 👇

My pals
@tom8enjamin.bsky.social
and
@eberlin.co.uk
are putting on an exhibition about brutalist buildings in Bristol next week. I wrote a couple of things to help promote it, including this piece about brutalist car parks.

'Fascinating textures and abstract forms make car parks so interesting'
Multi-storey car parks might not seem exciting at first glance but they're often striking examples of bold brutalist architecture

I spent last night writing about car parks as part of the PR for an exhibition on brutalist buildings in Bristol that's happening in October. We do have some interesting ones. This one, on Rupert Street, is from 1960 and was designed by Swiss architect Rudolph Jelinek-Karl.

It’s truly great to have work from other creatives on the site. I hope that it is something that I can grow in the future. Support for their work will only help that.

The walk and guide that Elliott contributed to BRUTAL Bristol II lay the foundation for the rest of the zine. Now you can pick up his own guide Modern Bristol as part of the set or on its own.

Due to increased interest I need to restock both BRUTAL Bristol zines. It will take me a moment to process the current demand. Please continue to support the zines and I will fulfill your orders as soon as I have restocked.

I absolutely love the perspective on this one. Andrew is probably THE car park photographer. And I mean that as a compliment.
