.architecture.


.typically I don't post that much about architecture, I think the last post was Gaudi - so predictable - back in August. Nevertheless, last year my husband and I were in DC and we came across this awesome building that looked like it had water cascading down the sides... As it turns out - it wasn't water, but silver medallions (I have no idea how else to put this) that blow with the wind thus mimicking the effect of water.

.what was even cooler about it, was that it was covering the ugliness of a parking garage that couldn't be built below ground. VERY GOOD & FUNCTIONAL DESIGN.
