atlanta - concourse parkway 3

Plopped in the middle of the Concourse Parkway development is a little angular, white-painted folly spanning a narrow bit of the decorative water feature. For architecture fans, this is a trip in the Wayback Machine to the mid-1980s, when an architecture yet to be dubbed "Deconstructivist" reigned supreme under the sign of the adjustable drafting triangle. Wild angles and grids slip past each other, to the point where it even crossing this tame little pond feels frankly dangerous and exciting (note "CAUTION: PLEASE USE HANDRAIL" signage). Scogin & Elam here play with a redundancy and overloading of elements, suggesting just how close this abstract and formal geometric approach lies to the representational double-coding and Mannerism of Postmodernism at the same moment. It's fun! I like it! It's amazing to see something like this still intact, to be honest, especially in Atlanta.
