    The chair holding the door open seems out of place.

    Well, that’s certainly evocative. But it’s not your usual play of light, symmetry in nature sort of … well, my expectations, honestly … but different anyhow. (stammer, shuffle feet)

    Possibly a local issue? My mind wanders to maybe preservationists lost this one on campus.

  3. @JohnMcC: An older building on campus with a chronic basement flooding problem (and therefore a mold problem). A new polymer-chemistry research facility is going to replace it.

    With your explanation to John McC, I can see why this one caught your mind, and your eye. Evocative indeed. Not your usual submission, but nice eye!

  5. @flat earth luddite: Thanks.

    I will admit to being fascinated by cases of buildings that have decayed or are being overrun by nature. In this case, it was an accelerated situation!

    There was also something about the partial facade that was visually appealing to me.
