Nashville

Dear L,

I returned last weekend from a conference in Nashville, Tennessee.  The hotel was... interesting.  I think the best way to describe it is as a mallosphere, sort of an ecosphere/dome for materialistic humans.  I took some pictures.

One of three large "ecosystems".  Everything was completely enclosed.

Restaurants in the enclosure.  You can see the hotel rooms in the background.

There was even a riverboat drifting through the place.

I'm not sure why, but the whole things was kind of depressing.  Reminded me a bit of Wall-E.


Love,
D

  1. Oh man is it bizarre that that second photo makes me really want to go there?? I love weird pretend spaces...like an indoor ski slope.

  2. It was an impressive architectural feat, for sure.
