You are not supposed to pay attention to the parking structures that sit next
to (rather than under) suburban office buildings such as this one in Addison
Texas. These structures built for automobiles are supposed to be invisible, not
part of the official design of the primary structure. Sometimes it's hard to
figure out which one is uglier.
While I was interviewing him in Addison
Circle, Andres Duany looked
at these structures and said "it couldn't have taken more than 15 minutes
to design the whole facade."
Pretty generous of him, I thought.
