PICK A SITE - DAKOTA WHITEHOUSE

I pass by this (what I presume is) parking structure on Milwaukee and Wells often. Other parking structures I have seen in Milwaukee seem to be built from a utilitarian approach, but this is one of them in particular that is a little more embellished, in this case with a geometric lattice-work window wrapped around the walls of the construction. I’m curious about the concept for its design; the tiered façade which breaks the continuous line of windows, these landscape-oriented window spaces remind me of elaborate Islamic architecture, the structure itself is of the 60’s (noting the date inscribed, “1966”) with a pattern of squares.
