Structural Art - Heat Plant at Brown University

IMG_0543

One of the finest examples of structural art in Providence is Brown University's Heat Plant on Llyod Ave.  It is a hidden gem.   The brick facade is sawtooth in plan at the base but straight at the top, creating beautiful hyperbolic brick sections that are repeated throughout. Both the Builder/Mason and the Architect/Engineer should be extremely proud and as a Providence resident I want to express my gratitude, thank you!
