ブルータリズム・コンクリート・シート：1970年代の重厚な幾何学

Design park seating in the brutalist municipal manner of the nineteen-seventies, when public furniture was made as heavy as possible to survive. Show a group of massive geometric concrete blocks — a cube, a wedge, a cylinder cut on the diagonal — arranged in a loose cluster on a raised concrete deck, each one clearly too heavy to move and none of them shaped for comfort. Detail the concrete as cast against rough sawn boards, the grain deeply impressed and the board joints leaving proud fins of grout that were never ground off. Show the aggregate as exposed in patches where the surface has spalled, with dark water staining running down every vertical face from the top edges, and the whole tending toward a blotchy grey-green from decades of algae. Detail one block as having a shallow dished top, the only concession to sitting in the entire group. Show weeds established in the joints between blocks and deck. Detail the surrounding paving as the same concrete, so the seating and the ground are visibly one construction. Set it in a sunken civic park with concrete planters and a tower block behind. Show flat grey light. Photorealistic, monolithic, weathered grey concrete, low three-quarter view.
