Article Summary
Even to fans of small buildings and compact architecture, concession stands tend not to stand out from the crowd. The new stand at 100 Acres: The Virginia B. Fairbanks Art and Nature Park in Indiana can't fail to be noticed, however; mainly on account of that whole tree poking horizontally through the middle of it. There's a little more to the design than that, thankfully.
