Toyota Hiace H50 on the right. Beautiful architecture in the background...

Those flats look almost like someone has just pressed the plunger on the demolition charges.

It's typical 70's architecture.

From ^^ one of the most staggering film sequences I've ever seen - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRmrxYvm7iY&feature=related especially from about 3 minutes in. Wonderful music as well though very muffled on this version. Backstory at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1ARMX8xZW8&feature=related .

Not only in the COMECON, also in Western countries.

Btw.I'm just reading a very good book about a very prominent example of such concrete-block-architecture (to be prepared for the vacations ;) ):

Ah, Pruitt-Igoe, I wish I could've been there, to see the whole thing in the flesh. Same goes for another complex designed by the same architect behind it. I remember as a kid I wanted to move to a tower block when I grew up, as I had had enough of the quiet suburbs I had grown up in, and I needed a new perspective of my life. After studying what became of housing projects in High School, I decided that it was probably not a good idea to stay anywhere near those things.

Still, brutalism, functionalism and modernism are among my favourite architectural styles.

@blue_thunder :no: It's a Telefunken "bajazzo". And the flip alarm clock is a Braun "phase 2", designed by D.Lubs. At the "phase 1" the legendary Dieter Rams was involved, too. My Siemens "club 701", my first own radiorecorder, is still alive, also the Philips "22RR482" (my grandfather has bought it in 1969), but all items need a capable restorer. Some defects, as squeeking sounds and hanging knobs, are annoying me :/

Especially the first one reminds a lot the 70's Grundigs (or rather Grundig was similar to this one).

I have a very similar looking Telefunken radio from the end of 70s in my bathroom, except it does not have the tape player.
