Cold War military sites, alone and untenanted near San Francisco, are visited by BldgBlog's visionary imagination. It's classic Gothic, stories infiltrating the ruins of power, military power.
eroding concrete bunkers of the U.S. military – abstract monoliths left stranded in the landscape.
They're now strange altars: the solid but empty geometry of power...
the Blue Angels came roaring out of the sky, tracing aerial symmetries, and the muffled thump of a sonic boom echoed into the open door of a nearby bunker.
It was two terrestrially competitive visions of the military colliding: one embedded in the Earth through excavation, the other colonizing the sky.
Thank God it's over!
