EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Memory Lane Prints takes us back to January 1975, capturing the iconic Metal Box building in Reading, officially known as Energis House. The architectural design of this brutalist office block stands out with its unique doughnut-shaped structure and hexagonal facade. It serves as a powerful reminder of the innovative designs that emerged during the 20th century. In this snapshot, we catch a glimpse of women diligently working inside the building's offices. Typewriters fill the workspace, symbolizing an era when technology was rapidly evolving but had not yet fully transformed our work environments. These hardworking individuals contribute to the bustling atmosphere within these walls. The Metal Box building holds historical significance for Berkshire and is considered an emblematic landmark in Reading's cityscape. Its distinctive shape and imposing presence make it impossible to ignore as you stroll through town. As we admire this photograph, let us appreciate not only its architectural beauty but also recognize how workplaces have evolved over time. This image invites contemplation on how typewriters have been replaced by computers and how women's roles in society have progressed since then. Let us cherish such glimpses into our past, appreciating both their aesthetic appeal and their ability to transport us back to a different era—a time when buildings like Energis House were at the forefront of modern design innovation.
