Brutal Birmingham End - May 2016 Update

Since my last update of the 21st May, http://birminghamcentral.blogspot.com/2016/04/brutal-birmingham-end-april-2016-update_21.html, the demolition of the former Birmingham Central Library continues to reveal the scale of the Paradise redevelopment site.

The following pictures are from the 11 May showing work starting to carefully dismantle the link between the former library and the Museum and Art Gallery.

Ironically, as the former Central Library has almost been removed from the Birmingham landscape a revival in Brutalism has arrived and the Financial Times has an interesting essay on five new books on the sculptural concrete architecture, http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/9df4d364-110f-11e6-91da-096d89bd2173.html
