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.

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.
