A Touch of Glass

Glass Wall

I love this building. I don't know the name of it and I don't know when it was built exactly
though
I believe it was put there in the 1980's.
I believe it's purpose lyes within the medical field.
This
building is a work of art. It stands three stories high and it's a 10 minute walk from my
apartment.


I love this design obviously because of it's bold glass tile which stretches from the
ground to the
roof top.
Although it wouldn't look that dramatic without that square wall with that one window
engraved in it.
The entry doors are all
glass
and curvaceous just like the wall of glass.

Looking UP

As I got closer to this glorious glass wall I began to really appreciate the beauty of the
design and workmanship. Yet I had to wonder how will it fair with an earthquake. This is
one of the reasons why I took these photos for just in case one day it came tumbling down.
Then I thought wait we've had many earthquakes since the 1980s and it's still standing.
On the 4th of April 2010 we had that 7.1 quake and it lasted almost 20 seconds and look

She's still standing!

Standing TALL

This view depicts that curve and it's futuristic design. Sitting right between homes that were
built in the 1940's. A future location for me to shoot at that's for sure!

A Glass of Water

The closer you get to this wall the better it looks. You can tell that there was a lot of thought
put into this design. And who ever it was that designed this amazing work of architectural
art has a lot of style, class and a real appreciation and love for glass wall tiles.

I applaud you who ever you are!
