Caro- They are simply buttresses, flying buttresses are never used internaly for they pull the weight away from the building and into the ground... a great example is notre dame!
The light fixture is very simular to one that has been, well i guess, redesigned, in the past two years out of Europe. It is very popular in the hospitality design feild, and it was also in the movie run fat by run at the two story apartment of the boyfriend (random, i know..)
We need a soundtrack to sanity for these collections.
I think this location and Northwood Asylum sum up the lonely, hopeless feeling that asylums bring on. In the end of their days, don't these asylums finally look like the feelings they bring to those locked in them in the beginning of their years?
I promise y'all, when I came home and helped clean up.... the water in that tub is pure in comparison. That is nothin'.
But I do wish Motts would come take photos here before what is left of some of the gorgeous buildings here are destroyed. Some historic places and faces are disappearing, even if they don't have much hurricane damage. Everything new and impersonal seems to be the NOLA motto now.
I loved this city once. Since the storm, I hate it. The people changed, the citizens are thrown aside and investors for the new New Orleans are all that matter. I'm applying to the school, gonna go, and as soon as I am done, I am leaving Louisiana for good. There is nothing left here worth saving.
This actually looks much like an enclosed wraparound porch on one of the many plantation homes down here in the south. It reminds me more of lemonade and circle skirts than padded rooms and nurses.
I'm the girl who cut's off my sister's head in the family barbeque picture. Now that the uncomfortable truth is out, I can comment on the picture.
I see more Agitation Green. It is as necessary as the lonely chair for Motts... I would not believe it was his work if there were a gallery free of the green.
Why do people vadalize these buildings?? They would be great if left alone. Still unbearably creepy, but more beutiful.
