Ramps

bbriboop

Anybody know good examples of buildings that have a large ramp system? Guggenheim in NYC is only one I can think of...

Thanks!

Nicely done. The only Corbu building I've ever been to. I need to go to India.

Half the drawings that come out of our design department seem to have ramps, but it's really just bad drafting and elevations that don't match each other.

La Giralda tower in Seville has a continuous ramp on its perimeter to access the top...teaser views of the city as you go up and the payoff at the top.
