Yes, I was just thinking that myself. I also enjoy structures being according to the place.

Have you been to Opa-Locka?

What does that mean...."according to the place"?

Are the shanty towns of Soweto, "according to the place?

What about the favelas of Rio? Why is the government trying to eradicate them before the Olympics and World Cup get there? Afterall they are according to the place!

Oh...and lest I forget....some of us think the Opa-Locka minarets are...according to the place!

The Norman Foster and Rem Koolhaas collaboration is looking phenomenal.

It's a cool parking structure.

Still think it should be painted white. .

Ooh yes there is...they just don't make movies about those parking structures.

A movie about a parking structure sounds like something Warhol would have done.

(I'm ok with the bare concrete look, btw. Doesn't always age well but it kind of harkens back to the whole 'Brutalist' school that I'm oddly fond of)

Only chase scenes, and murders as one get off the parking garage elevator. Seinfeld had an episode about a parking space in a garage.....but it was realy about NOTHING!!!

Oh so have I found the only other person who actually likes the look of Boston City Hall? Everytime I go there everyone talks about how hideous it is. I think it looks cool as hell!

I also have a thing for brutalist architecture, but Boston's City Hall is hideous! I went down to MDC's Kendall campus a while back and took a bunch of pictures, it's a gold mine of that sort of stuff.

I don't know what style or school of architecture that parking garage was designed with, but it also does very little for me. I just don't get it.

I think of stuff like MDC Dade-South and Dade-North as quasi-Brutalist. The downtown campus, too, and Metrorail for that matter.

Agreed it may not be the best stuff but compared to the 92,000 tedious examples of 'Mediterranean Revival' infesting everything from Key Largo to Titusville I'll take it.

Stephen C. Clark Center as well.

Not great, memorable architecture, I know...but also not cheezy. The barrel tile/fake campanella look lost its mojo in 1990.
