DAILY PIC:A view down into the wild, Art Deco abattoir now called the 1933 Center in Shanghai. Brutalism avant-la-lettre, and as usual, I love all that concrete. Apparently, however, the creatively reused building hasn’t really succeeded as an arts-and-culture center, so I have one suggestion: Return it to its original function, for which it was so carefully and elegantly designed.

Brutalism, Shanghai-style.
