Picspam - Oxford
If I could go back in time, one of the places I'd like to go is back to Oxford in the 50's and 60's and shoot the town planners.
Whoever thought that putting concrete monstrosities next to beautiful 16th century buildings needed to be shot. Oxford is full of jarring things like that. Modernism and brutalism are in general ugly. Architecture should be life enhancing, should be beautiful.
In the past, people understood this. Now it's function over form.
But thankfully there are still beautiful parts of Oxford around.
Is this irony or ironmongery
