Zut alors, Chauve-souris Homme!
By J.R. Lind Posted on November 16, 2009 at 2:43 pm
French business mag Journal du Net named Nashville’s iconic AT&T Building — née The BellSouth Tower — as one of the world’s 12 most original office buildings.
The Web site’s description asks if the Earl Swensson Associates-designed building — rendered en Francais as La Bat Tower — is indeed the home of célèbre homme d’affaires Bruce Wayne.
Also on Journals du Net’s douze are innovative buildings in Amsterdam, Mumbai and Shanghai.

Too bad that ATT changed the look of the building so that it no longer looks like Batman.
An absolutely ugly structure, which I have always thought did not take much “originality” to concoct. It’s too short to be awesome, too bulky to be graceful, too redundant to be interesting. Sorry, can’t agree with the Frenchies.
