The University of East Anglia, Norwich, England (the school newspaper is called Concrete, and it's pretty much what everything's made of).
Processed in Lightroom for levels, convert to B&W, then into PSCS3 for sharpening and toning, resize, border, save for web. Purposefully high-key to emphasize the harshness of the building material (and the fog).

Used to be the university with the highest suicide rate in the UK. A dubious claim to fame. From this stark concrete in-the-green-and-pleasant-land architecture on display in your photo, I can understand why. It's austere and you captured it.
Wow. That's tremendous. The composition and the processing put a lot of emphasis on the architecture. It's a classic architecture shot. And a painting as well. Beautiful to look at.
I love the title! I love the photo! Man, think about it, perfect geometry of the buildings, and amorphos humans, yet chaotic, still there's a lot of space not to get lost. Good, very good... I could see this as a cover of a story or a novel...
I really like the hard edge style. Very modern feeling and compliments the surrounding architecture nicely. I would have been proud myself to have taken such a photo.
There's something eerie cool about this but I can't quite find a way to describe why I feel that way. I love how the walkway leads into the white unknown. The people look like stick figures drawn in, like this is an artists rendering and the added people give it some life. I like the details you can see on the wall there too.
Looks very overexposed in the important parts to me. Also, the people are the darkest part, and with this supposed to be focusing on architecture, I think that there is to much focus on them.
