This building is so uber brutal, I had to check to see if it's real. The last picture shows it from a different angle, with more context.
Chuvash State Opera and Ballet Theater
@stueytheround @tyghebright Without windows, it looks like a prison to me.
@Notokay If you look closely there are lots of windows, but they're relativley small for the size of the building. Also, theatres quite often don't have many windows because they're not really needed.
First shot looks like the State asylum and abattoir…much nicer with some green
@tyghebright
The first image is amazing. Yes, it's heavy, and beautifully framed. That it's an opera company HQ is even better.
@tyghebright Brutalism isn't often my thing but I like this one. It sits rather well in its setting.
