Nice shot! I went to UTS... and I have to say if any building could be described as 'evil' or 'brooding' in an architecturally eerie way... it's THAT one! (it's been a little while... but I recall the views from some of the upper storey rooms are quite spectacular)

Good shot of UTS, the

Ugly
Towering
Structure

I worked there for almost 2 years - and I don't miss it one bit! A fitting piece of PP for the old monster. Nice shot.

I believe it was designed with a few features in mind:
Inability to look out of the windows and get distracted (most are above head height)
Not congregation areas that are not overlooked and can be monitored in case of student unrest.

So intentional elements of architecture. I seriously thought that the police stations in Darlinghurst and Newcastle were among the ugliest buildings in NSW.

Nice pic, btw.

Studying the wrong thing?

Nice shot. Conversion is little bit sepia-y (it's a word now!) for me.

Cheers

That's true!! It's a very distinctive building... there's nothing of a similar height anywhere near it, let alone style similar ANYWHERE!

I don't know, I reckon the UNSW library tower would give it a run for its money. Grey concrete hunk of depressive modernist architecture that it is. Can you tell I've spent all day in there???

Yet you will see a 28 storeys high building using seven of those 1980s industrial elevators. It fits like 30 people in a shot and go up slowly....
