The concrete and steel is what MAKES it sexy

Not sure if serious. In fairness, I like the rest of your pictures though, besides the second one of the Costco building.

Also, how could I forget this? I am on a website about amusement parks...

Nothing beats the Wilderness Lodge. :wink:

It's even better at night. (Except for those godawful spotlights they feel like they need for some reason...)

Westminster station is awesome, one of the best modern stations on the networks.

Shoreditch High Street is awesome;

Took this for an Urban Landscape project, love the shape of the building.
 
I'm definitely being serious. Raw concrete and steel can look fantastic provided the actual detailing is done elegantly, and the exterior is kept clean over the life cycle of the building. Dunno why concrete and steel have to be typecast just because factories use them.

The Lloyds building is another example of one that does the raw industrial look well.

ACCA in Melbourne is another building that uses steel well, except instead it was designed to rust evenly, so it has this great colour like the soil in the outback.
