Smith and Williams: CAPSA College Car Wash (Pasadena, Calif.)
Description
Constructed on Pasadena’s main street, Colorado Blvd., this structure won an A.I.A. award. The jury praised the CAPSA Carwash for possessing lightness and motion. The steel-skeleton structure takes full advantage of its openness to create a visually weightless building.
