2 International Plaza is a glorious monolith, a shrine to gaudy ’70s architecture. The office building looms over Briley Parkway near the airport, its walls shielded entirely by gold-tinted panels that lure some unsuspecting commuters into a losing game of sunbeam dodgeball. But time your approach correctly, and this eyesore shows its true colors. The building’s reflective design at certain times of day, from the right angle, becomes an extension of the natural backdrop, cast in a surreal and mesmerizing sepia — just make sure to park your car if you want to have a real gander at it.
