I think brutalist Houses of Parliament + whatever style the Tower of London was would make an amazing backdrop for an AU tv series, something like Kings (2009); the contrast between the drab modern buildings and the old monarchic traditions and pomp (think Gormenghast), the disconnect between our real-world familiarity of what the buildings are and what are we seeing, would be really interesting to explore. And I think there's something to putting mundane established knowledge against new backdrops to see new perspectives and new nuances.


You would just film almost _directly_ across the river and shoot on the South Bank, one of the major brutalist outposts in London. It's lovely.


Brutalism is the new gothic.
