DescriptionCivic Centre, Reading - geograph.org.uk - 2769072.jpg
English: The theme here is the hexagon. The plan of the building is six hexagons clustered together in the shape of a hexagon, a further one inside, and one projecting hexagon at the entrance. That makes eight in total, which spoils the six-ness somewhat. The hexagons are of different heights. They are clad in aggregate with narrow, tinted vertical windows. Built as part of a comprehensive civic redevelopment in 1971-76 to the designs of R. Matthew, Johnson-Marshall & Partners.
It is still the HQ of Reading Council.
