Architectural Contrast

 

I was heading west on McDowel Road when I noticed the contrast between these two hospital buildings.  The building in the foreground is the oldest.  It was completed in 1982.  I posted about it here.

The tall building behind it was added in 2017 after around two years of construction.  I did a post about the construction progress here.  

Both buildings belong to the Banner University Medical Center.  It's probably the biggest hospital complex in the Phoenix area.  These two buildings couldn't be more different.

Yes a big contrast between the two.

Quite a contrast between the two: rounded vs. square, dark vs. light, taller vs. shorter. Love that Arizona blue sky!

I like the architectural style of the older building.

Interesting that they didn't try to match the architectural style of the older building.

A sharp contrast.

I definitely like the older one better. It looks weirdly nautical.

And amazing. The building in the foreground looks much more modern.
