    Looks like you got summoned to the prison for jury duty.

      When I was a kid I used to drive by the Pirelli building all the time and dreading that I might have to go to work in a big, beige building like that one day. I never liked buildings like that until somehow it just clicked for me in my late twenties. Now I think brutalism and similar styles are wonderful.

      Anyway, maybe I’m just a weirdo, but it was actually surprisingly pleasant in there: clean and calm with friendly, easy going staff. I kind of regret getting excused a little bit.

        You’ll love the AT&T Long Lines Building in NYC then.

          It’s a beautiful building but it’s frightening to see in real life. A monolithic lair for some unseen unknowable horror.

            Part of what I like about it is that it’s not pretending to be something else. It looks like a an extremely secure, resilient building, which is exactly what it is, but it still looks good.

          I actually think thats a pretty building, while finding the other buildings mentioned in this thread boring to ugly. Just to put in my two cents. At least this one has a prettier color.

        Oh. You like brutalism.

        Well look where I went to school.

      A lot of US Courthouses are physically connected to the Jailhouse and PD, I assume it’s the same for other nations but idk.
