These snippets of architectural design from the UC Berkeley campus reminded me so strongly of Howard Roark, the protagonist from Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead. I'm not a fan of Ayn Rand in general, but that story is very compelling.
Photos via Dreams Are What Le Cinema Is For; they're screenshots from the movie, which I've never seen. Now that I think of it, I didn't actually finish the book either. Still, the aesthetics made an impression.
Will you just look at that cantilever? Marvellous.
ReplyDeleteI had to look that up! Yes, marvelous!
