Evans Hall [0] on the UC Berkeley campus is a brutalist building completed in 1971. My friends and I watched for many months as a steady stream of cement trucks drove up Hearst Avenue; we joked about how there would eventually be a similar stream of dump trucks carrying away the refuse when it was demolished. Little did I know that would probably be in my lifetime -- see [1]. For 1971 views from the balcony of my then second-floor Evans office, see photos 3 through 7 of [2] (the final two photos were taken inside that office).
