Sometimes buildings serving a particular function look like fortresses because they were, in fact, built like fortresses for a reason. I don't know if that was the case here but it doesn't seem too unlikely.

It was originally built for New England Telephone Co and then transferred to NYNEX. After NYNEX it was purchased by AT&T. Though I will say there are a lot of rumors of there being CIA offices inside.

It serves it's purpose very well actually. That place isn't filled with many offices. There are quite a few like that shattered across the US. Several that have excess space now rent out secure server space as well. G-Mach fucked around with this message at 10:13 on Dec 6, 2015 |

anyone posted the Salk Institute yet? Its perhaps the best example of Brutalism. And, thus, it owns very hard.

The Salk institute is the exception to the rule about brutalism being better with lots of greenery. Kahn wanted to put trees in that space but luckily Luis Barragan talked him out of it. Anyway, Abitare's fb/instagram is hitting it out of the park this weekend.

Chicago ATT building has the same thing for the first 5 or stories. Of course, only a fraction of that would be used for line switching now, but if they're smart it's been converted to data center space to either serve their enterprise network, or to lease out for additional revenue. Either copper switch banks or modern data center, that building is perfect for those purposes.

xlevus posted:Probably something along the lines of being unfit for purpose. Could you imagine living in a house shaped like a pizza slice? You'd have wasted space everywhere. Steen Hall, Stephen F. Austin University, Nacogdoches, TX. Here's the room designer flash app on the school website; note that the available furniture doesn't actually all fit in the room, and the angles you can rotate the furniture to don't line up with the walls. Edit: I made it mostly fit. I'm not sure if the one chest will open, and you'd probably have to climb over the other one to get to the desks.

(It's just the county's disaster-response control center; they outgrew the bunker under the old city hall/fire station, so they rented a floor in the AT&T building.)

The way it terminates in the sea and sky gives the impression that it's somewhere high up. At first I thought it was on a roof. The Registan in Samarkand has a similar effect and it's really cool. Just nothing in the background.
