ruminations about architecture and design

rest stop
A rest stop in Georgia from a series of photos on the subject I found on Huffpost. It's very creative and I doubt that we'll see something like this in the U.S. anytime soon. We're quite conservative here. Our heyday for heroic architecture was the Jazz Age, and although some of that stuff feels dated and conventional now, it was really cutting edge stuff. A building over a thousand feet high! Incredible. The architecture of our highway system, which I've commented on before, is stupefying and banal all at once. Our rest stops get torn down and rebuilt periodically.
