An geometric shot of the concrete structure of the Marylebone Car Park, tucked away just off Oxford Street in London.

Taken on my way to this years Photo24 Registration so not one I can enter in one of the competitions. I can't say it really fits any of the 'London icons', 'Abstract or Street Photography categories anyway.......

A more graphic reworking of a previously uploaded shot of a concrete multi-storey car park just behind Oxford Street in London.

Sadly I think this structures days are numbered as the site is threatened with redevelopment.

From Dezeen website : "A monumental car park building close to London's Oxford Street is being sold, meaning it could now be demolished to make way for a new hotel.

Featuring an elaborate facade of prefabricated concrete diamonds, the Welbeck Street car park was once selected by architect and Dezeen columnist Sam Jacob as one of the most important unsung buildings in the capital.

But the Brutalist-era building is now being sold to developer Shiva Hotels in a reported £100 million deal, putting it at risk of demolition.

The 1970s structure had recently been denied a listing from government heritage body Historic England, and was put up for sale by previous owner LaSalle Investment Management shortly afterwards.

The site had been valued at £30 million at the end of 2014. But a recent report from property company Pastor Real Estate named it as one of 18 London car park sites with potential to increase in value by 300 per cent.

"The car park on Welbeck Street provides an annual return of £109.5 million for its 360 spaces, whilst a residential scheme located on the prime Marylebone site has the potential to be worth £406 million," reads the report."

Given my recent success with flipped shots making 'Explore' I thought it would be worth giving it a go with this shot of Marylebone Lane Car Park. Even if you don't like the result you'll have to admit it's eye-catching.

To mark the start of the Oxford Photographers Artweeks 2019 Exhibition yesterday, here's one of the four 'flipped' images I'm showing this year. For anyone in the Oxford area you can find more details of our Group Exhibition here : www.artweeks.org/festival/2019/oxford-photographers

Unfortunately this Brutalist Car Park in Marylebone Lane is currently being demolished to make way for a rather bland hotel.

This shot of the Hawkins/Brown Oxford University Biochemistry building shot was taken last year but somehow overlooked despite me now thinking it's probably the best shot I've taken of this colourful building. Sometimes it's good to have a look back through your archives for hidden gems.

You can find more shots of this building in the 'Oxfords Contemporary Architecture' Group I set up : www.flickr.com/groups/oxfordcontemporary/
