These photos were taken in 2011. I don’t remember why we were in Southampton on the day in question but I had my camera with me and decided for some reason to take some photos of the façades of several modernist architecture buildings. I was clearly in a pattern mood, looking for those repetitive shapes and colours that interested me even if, to a critical eye, there was nothing actually of interest in the faded, dirty, unloved walls and windows that caught my eye.

I particularly liked the shaped concrete forms and smooth-cornered windows of the building below on Portland Terrace and reworked one of the pictures which you can see here: Photo: Portland Terrace Brutalist Windows.
