What's your favourite bit of brutalist architecture?

Demolished and similar meaning words seem to be starting to appear quite a bit, why is that?

It's only recently that I started to pay attention to buildings a bit more - I used to pay no heed to them at all.
I'm enjoying this thread.

Another one local to me is Winchester Crown Court (strictly the combined court).
It was built in the mid seventies and hosted at least one high-profile IRA case, which may explain its fortress-like appearance. It goes surprisingly well with the adjacent medieval great hall.
I did jury service there a few years ago and the interior is still vintage 70s, although a little shabby. It'd be a great backdrop for a John le Carré novel.

On the subject of Yorkshire brutalism there should be a mention for the High Point building in the centre of Bradford. Tis the building of your Kafka-esque nightmares.

Howard Roark would love that building. I guess we all knew we were going to "The Fountainhead" eventually.
