The Parker Hotel as photographed by Chimay Bleue, who has produced one of my favourite collections of photos of modernist architecture on Flickr. I’ll do a series of posts using his photos if he will let me. Look at the perforated screen wall outside – why don’t we see these screens around my part of the world? Because no one wants to pressure wash the moss off? Fantastic lobby, with an indoor version of a midcentury modern screen.
OMG, I must go! jaw dropping.
There’s a 1950’s gem of a house up past 33rd off Cambie in Vancouver that has a similar screen system. Well worth a poke around if you’re in the area. Just try and blank out all the recent monster homes that surround it…
Thanks! I’ll go take a look.
