Get Your Kicks on Route 66: Roadside Architecture
Roadside, Programmatic, Mimetic, Novelty--whatever you call it, it's fun, crazy, and eye-catching. These quirky structures were popularized alongside the growing car culture, meant to serve motorists' needs as they were traveling along America's highways. From diners to dinosaurs, mimetic architecture is a whole zany side of design that brings delight and memories of our American motoring heritage.
