the letter o

spotted in newspaper ‘nrc next’ today: a typographic interpretation of president obama’s speech, difference with mine and this one is that the one shown above is a tag cloud generated by computer software based on rational statistics, mine was pure feeling and constructed ‘by hand’ word for word… (see ‘me work’ for my one)

the tallest abandoned hotel standing today

…three thousand rooms and seven revolving restaurants were planned for this massive concrete structure which has been dubbed ?The Worst Building in the History of Mankind? as a result of its failure to ever open for business. Construction was deadlocked in the 1990?s so the outer structure is complete but it?s an unsound building that doesn?t have any windows or interior to speak of. At 105 stories, it would?ve once been the tallest hotel in the world…

an odd-ball collection of abandoned & decayed hotels (by the way… wow a blog about hotels and hotel stuff, there are weirder subjects than graphic design to write a blog about after all…)
