Ruinenlust, 2012 - 2018
A modernist, brutalist building inspired by the architecture of Le Corbusier. Barren. Abandoned. Desolate. A seminary, a college, a drug rehabilitation centre, an arts venue, Scotland's greatest post-WWII building and listed in the 100 most endangered sites in the World 2008, yet still it lies empty. Constantly in flux and with recent regeneration plans failing it, St Peter's Seminary remains like thousands of others in the UK, uninhabited, overgrown, and haunted by the past failed futures but nonetheless tragically beautiful. |
