I love the idea and look of futuristic things in a state of decay, and these fit the bill beautifully...

Thanks for sharing Andy...they look great! I think that "Communism Architecture" is always interesting (looks a lot like Brutal Architecture, which is a recognized style)

I love this stuff.

The Ilinden Memorial in Krusevo is wonderful.

Here's more of the same.

Thanks for sharing Andy...love the stuff! Reminds me of some of the architecture in Brazil: lots of concrete and funky geometrical forms.

If anybody has never seen the Movie 'Quintet' starring Paul Newman, it is worth seeing for at least the architecture. It was shot at Expo '67 buildings in Montreal, Quebec, set in a post apocalyptic ice age. It is a Sci-Fi film directed by a frequently Oscar nominated director. The late Robert Altman.

You can rent it on I-tunes for $2.99. It's worth it!



Good suggestion Andy!!
