Hail the King!

This building actually has a crown!  it is the anointed one!  I wonder if all the little buildings bow down to this one when no one is looking? This is like the post modern crown of thorns!  Let's get a better look at that crown....


ooooh i get it now its a control tower! it must be the control tower for that 17 lane freeway it hoovers over (no shit! 17 lanes!everything is bigger in texas!but thats a whole other story)  it is hard to show in pictures just how grotesque this crown is in person... i haven't even seen it at night - i bet it beacons to guide the way to folks driving in California who's navigation system fails.... Maybe its the ONSTAR headquarters! Who built this Shit!

Transformer Building?


 


I have loved this building for a long time. I jest.  I really just wish I can catch it transforming! I know for a fact that when you are not watching it transforms into a robot and walks around the suburbs searching for a Walmart big box to dance with... This image is a bit blurry but the white material is actually marble it is some kind of Po-Mo classical interpretation, in theory the president of the company sits in the golden seat behind the "face"...  why do people feel the need to add makeup to a building? why do you need to dress it up with geometric patterns - the 80s motif is not a classic one folks - Maybe the architects thought it would transform into a better looking building? We can only hope! Who builds this SHIT!
