Professor Shark posted:I genuinely cannot tell where the building is or what is going on there. They want their government functions to appear unobtrusive, so they adopted dazzle camouflage as their architectural theme.

Angela Christine posted:Okay, the first one is pretty as hell, but I bet it was unpleasant to navigate and expensive to maintain. Apparently one of the turrets fell off a year or two before it was demolished (but still in use). It was one of the red-headed stepchildren of the school's architectural plan from the late 30s to when it was demolished in 1969, so there was probably several decades of deferred maintenance.

Noggin Monkey posted:Nice video! I feel like an interior shot looking out of a bay window might have been appropo given his warmup talk there. I think it's more the idea of a bay window. I think very few, if any, of the apartments have what could be considered a bay window, but that doesn't stop the building from looking really good. http://www.newyorkbygehry.com/#!new-york-by-gehry

The "TF" on the building is because it's the Headquarters of "Tapir Force," right?

Until I saw that, one could have made an argument the Neuschwanstein belonged in this thread. At least in comparison to Neu-Neuschwanstein you can't claim that anymore.

Tunga posted:This doesn't prove that it's a shop. What is the implication, that a real image was flipped? The one with the letters has windows in the reflection which don't match the "real" photo. I'm not convinced these are taken in the same place. It could still be a shop, of course, or a prank, or whatever. I think we can agree that it isn't a real sign that someone designed because you'd just move it all over a couple of letters and it'd fit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZshMwU2-HCM An explanation, or a yet more elaborate prank.

Magikarpal Tunnel posted:I was curious about this, and the image says the imagery date (not sure if that is the date it was uploaded or the date it was taken by the satellite?) is 10/5/2013. So that's a Saturday, usually a pretty busy day for malls. It had been in decline since the 90s, all its anchor stores left, and was foreclosed on in 08 or 09ish. Oklahoma City is the largest city in the US by area, 600+ mi2 but only about a half million people, so they've got the space.
