EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by James O. Davies showcases the remarkable architecture of Weston College in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset. The image focuses on a mesmerizing detail of the building's brutalist elevation, capturing its raw and imposing beauty. The brutalist style is evident in every inch of this concrete masterpiece, reflecting the post-war era in which it was constructed. The sheer strength and solidity exuded by the structure are awe-inspiring, symbolizing resilience and endurance. Davies' lens skillfully captures the intricate textures and lines that make up this architectural marvel. From afar, one can appreciate how each element seamlessly fits together to form a cohesive whole. Up close, however, one discovers a world of fascinating details: sharp angles meeting smooth curves; rough surfaces juxtaposed with delicate edges. Historic England has preserved this photograph as an invaluable record of our built heritage. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity during a time when society sought to rebuild after immense challenges. As we gaze upon this image, we cannot help but be transported back in time – imagining what life was like when this building first stood proudly against the skyline. This photograph invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its historical significance within our collective memory. James O. Davies has masterfully captured both the grandeur and subtlety inherent in Weston College's brutalist design through his lens - forever immortalizing it for generations to come.
