This is a park by my house. There are lots of soccer fields, but you can't use them unless you have a scheduled game. The soccer area is about the size of a neighborhood. Most of the time these fields are completely empty and if you try to practice on them a guy from the city shows up in a truck and tells you to leave. Although the birds make good use of the fields.


Gah. This building is ugly. Not to be negative or anything but it's just a fact. I wish they would cover it with some trees. It's surrounded by a large field and you can see it from very far away.


This is my middle school. this building has a common ornament used in many buildings now a days which is the oddly placed windows. I don't know how that will be treated in the future. I think it might bother people like they are like god the window thing! I get it! Oh god!



This is an interesting crop of my house. All the foliage gives this false sense of place. I didn't even recognize this as my house when I saw the photo.

This seems like an intentional solution to a potentially unaesthetic problem. The AC unit seems to be both machine and decoration. The wall with the foliage on it seems to cut off parts of the unit to make something interesting happen. I doubt the AC unit was designed just for that spot so really the considerations to start dealing with the shape of the AC machine as a given and work from there. Things like the wall can be considered in many ways but the AC unit cannot. I image designing for this is a lot like playing the Sims. Where you can build quite a different amount of stuff but you are still kind of stuck with lego like pieces.

I'm not sure what to think about buildings like these. It's cheeky on purpose ( most obviously with the odd window placement). But does the structure work well with its environment? It seems like the building was designed to be placed in many places like a fast food building. I wouldn't be surprised if there was another one of these standing someplace else in the country.



This is the same building from a previous picture but this time it is obscured by a gas station and some trees. What stands out in particular is the very bright illuminated gas station to the hazy naturally lit office building. It is kind of like watching a television program where one character is in high definition and another character is black and white and all grainy.
