Coor Building

Coor Building

This is an image as you are walking down the steps 
to get to the lower level of the Coor Building.
This is a building of glass and symbols. At first glance, the Coor Building would look special on its own because of the architecture. It has a blue hint to each window and that makes it stand out from the rest of the building surrounding it. But what people don't know is that there are mini gardens within the building complex. At first it looks like it is going to be more cacti and bushes, but as people head further inside this labyrinth of halls and concrete, pockets of bamboo are embedded in the walls. This is the area that interests me the most because here people can hang out above ground, do homework above or below ground, and have shade.

This place provides a great environment for anything and allow for people to work without many distractions. It is usually quiet down there and the bamboo usually sways because they are so tall. Leaning against one of the pockets by the bamboo is very therapeutic because of its calming aspect. Bamboo is not native to Arizona and being able to see it here is fascinating. They are below ground because the sun will cause harm to them. Not only is this building great for people, but for the plants in it. This is a great place to come and study, but not so much for socializing. Coming here will definitely be a great place to show people though.
