APAD(ish) #27: Simmons

[nonelvis]

Simmons Hall is ... interesting.




Simmons went up seven years ago, and I've never been inside it. I don't usually care for its exterior -- from a distance, I think it looks like a massive prison -- but up close, the colors and sheer weirdness of it are pretty fascinating.



There was also a rather nice tree nearby.

Wow; you managed to make Simmons hall look "Interesting" rather than like "The ugliest building I have ever seen". When it was built, it took several months of waiting for them to finish construction before I realized that it was finished and was actually supposed to look like that.

It's a pretty astounding building, not necessarily in a good way. I'm glad you liked my photos! (Though I wish I'd done a better job centering the first one.)

There are a whole bunch of interesting photos of Simmons on Flickr (just search for "Simmons Hall") -- I really like the angles on this one.

Very nice pictures in an excellent series.

Thank you! One more to go ...
