During one of our tutorials the idea of the/ a folly was highlighted and so I looked into the meaning of a folly and how it could relate to our chosen site. I felt that the site could be seen as a folly that showcased virtually untouched brutalist architecture, although the interchange was built for a purpose and folly's aren't generally seen to be constructed for any particular purpose. I also looked briefly into brutalist architecture to gain a greater understanding of the style and I liked that the Utopian ideology linked with Brutalist architecture was never met and felt it parallelled with fact that the intended purpose of the structure was also never fulfilled.
