Con. E. Crete visits her beloved civic carcass of Reading Civic Centre one last time before it is demolished. Her reflections echo the situations many other brutalist structures conceived throughout post-war glory days now find themselves in. It seems as though she is alone in caring; alone in seeing the shortsighted nature of 'their' ways: a real loss of architectural, social and political heritage for future generations.
Made by Roxanna Collins originally as an installation for ‘Video Strolls goes to Flatpack’, Birmingham, 27-29/3/15
