Elephant & Castle - Heygate Estate

    Brutal horizontal layers of concrete. With each flat facade eerily sealed, like faces with no features, this condemned vision of the 60's has a brutal beauty.
    Situated just opposite the gleaming new Strata tower, it's a massive illustration of the demise of an ambitious design idea.
    It's design fails without practical maintenance and social planning.
    Love the intelligent graffiti.
