#BellinghamWA has a new five-story public works building with a huge #topographic #map of the city on one side.

Via the city's FB page: "The new five-story building at the corner of Pacific and Carolina streets, part of the Pacific Street Operations Center. The left corner of the building features a topographic map of Bellingham, designed by David Heck, RMC Architects, fulfilling the City's 'One Percent for the Arts' requirement for the new operations center."

@alan A brightly lit 5 story wall blocking the real topographic views of a lower income residential neighborhood? Seems like a real 1%er solution to "art" to me.

@Gaythia Well, I can't speak to the brightly-lit part, the lighting is probably unnecessary, but it's not the art that made the building 5 stories.
