A detail of the Armstrong Tire/Pirreli building in New Haven. A
building that could best be described as a whimsical building of the
brutalist school. Ikea, it's current owner would gladly tear it down,
to gain a few more parking spaces, but ironically the very institutions,
historical preservation societies, designed to protect against concrete
monstrosities burying the beauties of the past, are now protecting the
concrete monstrosities. True, this building isn't as horrific as Boston
City Hall, but then what is. The building stands vacant, and
occasionally Ikea will hang a gigantic banner off the side facing the
highway. All that being said, I kind of like it.
