Car parks aren't usually a top priority for architects. They often consist of no more than some tar slapped onto a flat surface and dissected with white lines or, at the most, a bleak multi-storey maze of concrete pillars.
But as the demands of drivers and cities change, putting ever more pressure on both the designer and their resources, the humble car park has had to step up. The 10 parking garages assembled here all have a fresh take on a staid concept and run the whole gamut from the brilliant to the downright weird.

I still reckon that the car park atop the bus station at Preston (Lancashire) still looks stunning despite its age. Anyone approaching it for the first time is always struck with awe at it. And the City Council want to pull it down! A similarly-built one atop Huddersfield bus station looks drab by comparison due to its lack of those curled up wings all the way down each level.
