The architects at AllesWirdGut Architektur took an old steel mill in Luxembourg and converted it into a public park while leaving some of the original infrastructure in place. The results have a lovely Brutalist feel.
I know: a lot of people despise Brutalism. But it's an acquired taste that I've acquired. You can see eight pictures of the park at the link. I especially like this clever bench design -- perfect for enjoying the outdoors while staying out of the rain.

It was an steel foundry in the past, one of the most important companies in Mexico.
Now is a park with running trails, museums, special events, an arena, an amusement park, etc.
I love going there from time to time.

I hope Monterrey get better, so people from other countries can visit us, I miss hanging out with American and Japanese guys from my work.
