Kid's Hospital (probably) designed by kids ...

[The St.Paulite]

So, I'm curious - was this building designed by children? Enjoy ...



This humdinger is located in some weird small-town hybrid sprawl locale: http://g.co/maps/by2eh

While the building is ugly, shallow, depressing, etc., that land use pattern blows my mind!

No wonder kids are medicated into a stupor these days! I also thought hospitals were where you went to get better, not sicker - how many instances of "childhood depression" is this building going to induce (but I suppose that makes for a great cash cow)?

  What is this going to accomplish?  Inducing fear of primary colors in children, little kids association of pain and fear with ladybugs and butterflies.

  Actually, I don't mind it so much.  I just can't shake the feeling that the Dr.'s are dressed like clowns..."Dr. Bozo will be in shortly.  "Ummm, thanks Nurse Barney.".   "Hey look kids, it Kermit the Trauma Councillor!"

First thing I thought was... remember JHK’s water tower with the smillie face and he said: “this does not help”.

But then I pictured some kid fighting for their life, pulling into the parking lot, looking out the window at the building they are going to enter and submit to god knows what agony and thought... maybe it does help.
