It seems like the camera never does this building any justice, it has a much lighter presence that I can ever capture. This is the Combined Heat and Power Facility at Arizona State University by Machado + Silvetti, with the local architect Gould/Evans.
The building is essentially one huge space for the power unit, clad in these precast panels. The discipline of the panel comes from the semi-tractor trailer bed. Each one of these panels were brought in during evening hours by a semi and then raised to clad the facade.
The panels in real life (as opposed to this picture) play quite a bit with your eye to figure out what's solid, shade and shadow.
