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!

Holy Big Box Batman!

I am agnostic. Which means I believe there is  "God" out there I just don't believe in organized Religion.  When you go to Europe though, the Cathedrals are so beautiful and inspiring you can't help but believe, that is how they were designed to inspire awe, to draw your eye up and make you feel something inside. This is just sad.  I am not one to mess with people's religions, so please don't get mad I am only speaking about the building - GHHEHEEEEEZZZZ It's not like parishioners are approaching on donkeys anymore granted, they are driving 75 on a freeway, but come on! Can't the building be inspirational AT ALL? While European cathedrals inspire holiness this just makes me think of Walmart the big box religion of America. And like Walmart this building just promotes the ideal that bigger is better - I would argue for quality over quantity doesn't a house of God deserve that at least.  Who Builds This Shit?

The new Modernism - Really?

Ouch... Really? Is this the best we can do? No wonder people are scared of Contemporary Architecture. This one is painful on many levels... Maybe if I squint my eyes it will look better? Nope that didn't do it. So people are trying to make "Contemporary" Architecture huh - Well listen up people, putting warehouse metal siding on a house does not make it contemporary!  And look above the front door, notice anything funny? yup that's right you see it correctly- it is a pending lawsuit!  See how the entry portico slopes INTO the building on two sides! GENIUS! I'm not even going to mention the massing, window placement, color pallet, roof etc etc etc... Who built this shit!
