U of M in Monochrome
This is an administration building on the campus of the University of Michigan. I spent the weekend up in Ann Arbor, hence the lateness of this post - but it was taken on 2/27 - honest! I liked the stark, 60's architecture of the building - the rumor persists that the narrow windows (and no office windows on the first floor which you can't see in this shot) were to cut down on student protests in the open area outside the building - if nobody can see you protest, what's the point? I doubt that was the reason for the architecture, but it makes for an interesting story.
In the open area between this building and some others, is the abstract cube sculpture below. The cube is solid black, so it really worked in monochrome. It rests on a pivot which allows passers-by to spin it with a push. It continues to spin for quite a while after one pushes it, thanks to physics - center of gravity and balance!
Today's post is part of Monochrome Weekend.
