Power Tel Aviv

Thanks to Thomas who sent us this photo of a pretty novel looking power transformation substation in Tel Aviv. SLAB is heartily amused by the super-redundancy of the columns, the decorative security fence and the beautiful integration of faked ceramic insulators as doric capitals.

    I particularly like the moiré style structure of two of the skyscraper facades.
    Or is it just me and/or the screen/res of my filthy MacBook?

    I’m seeing the moiré on that skyscraper too. I guess my screen must be just as filthy; no one builds a moiré on purpose, do they?

    …but what an appealing architectural element would it be!
