Swinging '60s Crapitecture


My bike screeched to a halt when I caught sight of this fantastic piece of crapitecture on Eighth Avenue in the South Slope. It's crap, no doubt about it. But rarely have I seen crapitecture that apes the curved, groovy lines of 1960s office buildings. Fifty years ago, this would have soon been full of dentists and CPAs. Today, it will be filled by condo-ites.

It's not bad, but you can tell just looking at it that its made with crap material and with the same lack of craftsmanship you find in all crapitecture.
