Building Spirits

Apr 17, 2008 09:24

This is a question mostly for you people who work/live/study/etc in and around big buildings, even if you aren't Pagan. Is there any large building that you regularly encounter that you feel has a gender? As an example I'll describe my feelings of the University of Kansas engineering complex.

The Learned-Eaton-Spar complex is Masculine-Androgynous-Feminine respectively. However there is no clear demarcation when moving from one to the other, they kind of bleed through and blend together. They are three buildings but you don't have to go outside to move between them so they appear to have almost a hive mentality. Ironically, I think it is one of the most aware buildings on campus, but yet mostly unaware that it's awake. Also, by Androgynous I mean neither rather then both.

Murphy on the other hand is Feminine like a professional ballerina, "look but don't touch, you are not worthy". Then again it may just be that way with me since "I R Enganeer".

Wescoe is transgender. It feels very... not confused but thats the only word I can think of that comes close. Confusing implies some anxiety on the issue and its infact very calm about it.

So what do you think?
