Toxn Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 My alma mater has developed a bad case of this. Also, the work on this thing continues apace: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donward Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Let me guess. Lots of bare concrete, exposed I-beams and H-vac systems, shitty artwork and dead space for no reason and a floor plan that leaves the user lost and wondering where the elevators and bathrooms are hidden.

Toxn Posted September 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Got it in one. It also has a really strange bare concrete section (which you can see in the photo) which makes the building look like it was plonked on top of a fortress. Also, it's blocking the view from our office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly like my old office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturgeon Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Art deco's ugly in its own way, but it at least doesn't flagrantly violate the laws of aesthetics just to pad the architect's ego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrashbotUS Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Dallas still has a bunch of nice Art Deco buildings left. Fair Park is one of the last areas that hasn't being ruined. Sturgeon and Collimatrix 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donward Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 Seattle has the old Pacific Medical Building (originally the U.S. Marine Hospital) on Beacon Hill. During the first part of World War 2, my grandfather was assigned to an anti-aircraft battalion at a nearby park. During practice, while firing blank rounds, his loader accidentally slipped a live round into a 40mm Bofors and he fired a round over this same building. As my uncle said, there was a reason why Grandpa Harry made corporal three times when serving in the Army. Tied and Sturgeon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
