EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the raw beauty and complexity of Trinity Square Car Park in Gateshead, Tyne & Wear, a prime example of Brutalist architecture designed by James O. Davies. Built in the mid-1960s, this concrete behemoth was once known as The Get Carter Car Park, named after the iconic British crime film shot on location here. The oblique angle of the photograph highlights the intricate textures and patterns of the car park's concrete surfaces, revealing a maze of geometric shapes and lines that interplay with the natural light. The brutalist style, characterized by its raw, unadorned surfaces and emphasis on functionality, is on full display here, with the car park's columns and beams forming a stark contrast against the sky. Despite its utilitarian origins, the Trinity Square Car Park has become a cherished symbol of modernist architecture in the North East of England. Its bold, unapologetic design challenges traditional notions of beauty and aesthetics, inviting viewers to appreciate the raw power and elegance of concrete as a building material. The photograph also serves as a poignant reminder of the changing landscape of Gateshead and the wider region, as the area around the car park continues to evolve and transform. The Trinity Square Car Park stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of James O. Davies and the Brutalist movement, inspiring generations of architects and designers to push the boundaries of what is possible with concrete and modernist design.
