National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham
















The 1976 National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, designed by Edward Mills, is an hideous example of brutalist modernism - the canopy is supposedly a Mills motif.















More of the NEC - an open-air cafe area or a prison exercise yard?

Is it true that Edward Mills slept with a sketchbook at his side in case he should wake suddenly and forget one of his nightmares?
