Plant v brutalist architecture: Fight!

This section of crumbling wall is in the middle of Imperial College London's South Kensington campus. The ivy Virginia Creeper (h/t to perennialanna for the botanical correction) that masks it is presently changing from red to green, drawing attention to the contrast between it and the functional brutalist buildings surrounding it.

Real brutalism in London is to be found at the London Institute for Historical Research (aka the Senate House) which featured in the original filming of Orwell's 'Nineteen Eight four' as the Ministry of Love.

That is such a distinctive building. It's also distinctly more attractive than a Imperial's big concrete blocks!
