EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Preston Bus Station at Dusk: A Brutalist Icon of Post-War Architecture" This evocative photograph, captured by Alun Bull in June 2011, showcases Preston Bus Station in all its raw, concrete glory. Situated on Tithebarn Street in Preston, England, this architectural marvel is a fine example of brutalist design, a style that emerged in the post-war era as a reaction against the ornate and decorative. The image, listed as DP143109 by Historic England, offers a general view of the station illuminated at dusk. The access ramps, leading into the car park, are bathed in an ethereal glow, casting long, dramatic shadows against the textured concrete walls. The use of stark, unadorned concrete as the primary building material lends an austere yet captivating aesthetic to the structure. Brutalist architecture, characterized by its raw, unapologetic use of concrete, was a popular choice for public buildings in the post-war period. Its emphasis on functionality and durability resonated with the needs of the time. However, this style has been a subject of controversy, with some critics arguing that it lacks the warmth and charm of more traditional architectural styles. Despite this, Preston Bus Station, now listed as a Grade II building, stands as a testament to the enduring allure of brutalist design. Its bold, uncompromising form defies the passage of time, making it a cherished icon of Preston's architectural heritage. As the sun sets and the lights come on, the station takes on a new life, its raw concrete surfaces softened by the play of light and shadow. This photograph captures the essence of Preston Bus Station, offering a glimpse into the unique beauty of brutalist architecture and its place in our post-war urban landscape.
