When cities go looking for an architectural signature project, they often turn to museums and performing arts centers. But parking garages? Hardly. But here's a project in Santa Monica, CA, by Moore Ruble Yudell Architects that challenges conventional choices. To see it go here. Click on "Work," then "Civic and Cultural" and it is the first featured project that pops up. Be sure to see pic #5. Ah, gorgeous. The garage was named one of the D-100 by Metropolitan Home this month.
