Just a Cute Cantilever

[JAE]

Just came across this photo of a concrete cantilever beam I did some years ago. Brought a chuckle. This was a cantilever supported by a beam which was supported by a cantilever.

The sawtooth edge with the relief angles were for a stepped back facade at the front of a multi-story library.

No reason to post this other than it was "cute".

"cute" is not the word for it...

I was thinking of "odd".

Was that back in your Architectural days?

JAE...you should have used that one to talk some sense into Kid Architect!

It was the 12 storey column perched on the end of the cantilever that created the problem <G>...
