This Brutal City – Birmingham Central Library – John Madin


Love it or hate it, you can’t help but admire the sheer brutal rigour of John Madin’s Birmingham Central Library, lovingly referred to as the Ziggurat.  

This landmark of post war Birmingham is in the process of being dismantled, so before it is lost to history, I thought I’d take my camera out and photograph it while I still had the chance!
