Exploring Downtown Baton Rouge
Today we took a trip downtown to explore the area. Here's what I found:
I've seen this chandelier before in what appears to be some sort of conference room over a parking garage. It really makes me want to see what the room looks like, although I have a feeling it's not as interesting from the other side of the window.
The fountain outside of the Shaw Center catches the eye because of the constant, unpredictable movement in an otherwise quiet area during the day.
Here is an intersection at River Road on the levee. Lines and lights are everywhere.
This is a building we're working on in another studio class. I was attracted to the rough painted brick against the sleek glass.
Throughout the downtown area, among the serious architecture, there are lively bits of color and images in the form of signs and graffiti. This is one of my favorites.
This is another spot I often notice. The bright yellow really stood out today against the overcast sky.
Outside of Happy's pub, the sidewalk is painted white and green.
The Shaw Center can be seen from almost anywhere downtown, and the modern materials contrast nicely against the old brick on the older buildings.
I love the purple accents on this building, all the different positions of the blinds, and the glimpses of furniture.
This is a traffic light on Main St. I've never been downtown during the Christmas holidays, but I assume these string lights decorate the streets during that time.
I noticed these satellite dishes outside of a building near Laurel St. It looks like something has caught their attention.
This is a piece of a parking lot that faces River Road. It's a good example of the great mixture of colors and textures found all around the downtown area.
