A chevron, suspended

032314

While there is surely some psychological reasons that I am drawn to abandoned places like this, we are all probably better off without knowing what they may be. Let’s just decide that my obsession is probably (mostly) harmless, and let it go. OK?

Anyway. Check out that roof, with its chevron shape, and the way it appears to be suspended from that T-shaped tower and pair of cables.

Also, you might be interested to know that the door on the right side is actually blue.

  3. I am guessing the same architect as this place http://bit.ly/1hapxAt, but on a very tight budget.

    • Yes, probably this was his/her class project for sophomore-level design, and the other one was his/her thesis project. Unfortunately, the professors found the second one to be “derivative” of the first, and as a result the poor student didn’t graduate. But that turned out to be a luck break for that poor student, who left school in dismay and without a degree, and went on to invent Google. Or something like that.

      • They went into physics and developed the concept of string theory. Or something like that.

      • Once, at the gym, I tried to utilize my time on the treadmill to catch up on my reading. I tried to read an article on string theory in the New Yorker. I couldn’t understand any of it, so pretended it was because of all those endorphins that disrupted my concentration. And I plan on sticking with that (lame) excuse for as long as I need to.

      • Didn’t you graduate from architect school? So you at least did not end up strung out.

      • Yes, I did graduate from architecture school. My student designs were awful; I can only assume that my professors felt sorry for me.
