Brutalist, moi?

I don't know much about architecture, I wouldn't even say that I know what I like, at least not comprehensively or with any real degree of confidence. But a lot of what I do like is in the class of 'Brutalism', those concrete behemoths that seem to be largely associated with the Sixties and Seventies, although someone may like to correct me on that.

The Minx gave me three concrete models for our anniversary: the Barbican (so far, so classic); St Peter's Seminary (which we visited five years ago); and, surprisingly, Forton Services. Whilst I adore the structure, I don't think I've ever thought of it as being Brutalist architecture.

Anyway, here it is, in all it's perfect, miniature glory.
