The Pyramids located on the upper west side of Indianapolis just off of 465 were constructed in 1972 for CP Pyramids and Associates LP. Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo and Associates LLC, were the principal designer is Kevin Roche was responsible for the architecture. Roche is known for his grand facades. I wonder what made the company build these so far from downtown. The Pyramids are the tallest buildings in Indiana's Marion county Pike Township. All three structures are connected through basement and ground level corridors. It seems as though Indianapolis is one of the most spread out cities in the nation. You can find pockets of great architecture all over the city. I have driven by these three structures countless times so one day I just parked in the parking lot and decided to take some photos. I notices that Indiana Tech and The Institute of Art are tenant's of these properties. I think the structure obviously is capable of meeting the needs of smaller private schools like the Art Institutes. My only problem is the location. I know that it is located in a business district that features a lot of big companies. But when you think of something like this you think it should be downtown or something overlooking the city! Well regardless of where they are located they are definitely an Indianapolis landmark.
