morgan2sims

i guess the title explains itself.

i'm looking for images of building with shifted/ slanted columns (much like the sendai library) for my presentation to client this monday.

thanks sooo much for your help

there's one that has been in an ad in just about every issue of arch record lately. don't know anything about the building - the ad doesn't say - but the image shows a forest of crooked columns under the thing. kinda fun, even though i don't understand it.

I don't suppose you are looking for buildings with angled concrete columns....if so, this building is a good example:

Frank Gehry in Manhattan


I'm not a big fan but I have to say this looked cool while under construction. I have some pictures I can dig up somewhere if you want.

Wonder, did you notice the upsidedown windows. That drove me to madness for months until they fixed it.

Whoa, I had no idea that building was in the news but here we go:

Gehry's first New York building

Buckity, I do remember seeing the upside-down windows. Gold star for those contractors! ;o)
