bink drove me out to a suburb to buy gifts for Auntie Vi, and I asked her to stop when we drove past my favorite modernist office park, so I could take pictures.
Pentagon Park was completed 1967, in time to coincide with Daniel Ellsberg leaking the Pentagon Papers––surely not the direction the designers thought the future was going to go.
