Conrad Prebys Concert Hall

[Darren Bradley]

In San Diego, a jury of architects, designers, and city leaders award orchids and onions for the best and worst of architecture and city planning. This concert hall at one of our local universities (University of California at San Diego) just won the Grand Orchid for 2010. It was locked, but I found an open door around back, and then found the master control panel for the lights so that I could take a few shots.

So, 10 out of 10 for design and 0/10 for security!!

Nice shots though!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Cheeky bugger - did you really sneak in and power up the lighting?

That interior design is interesting - looks like it's acoustically modeled with all those non-parralel surfaces - very cool.

 

[Darren Bradley]

Oh yes, but I never went through any doors that weren't open or unlocked!

 

[Paul Lange]

You should try to sell them the shots and then after claim that you had some trumatic episode inside and claim for compensation. It was their fault that they left the place open after all. lol. Stanger things have happened I'm sure.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Darren, all in can say is, you have

 

[Darren Bradley]

Ha! Thanks! Whatever it takes to get the shot, mate!

 

[Pete Askew]

Is that them aliens again Chris?!!

 

[Hamish Gill]
