McDonalds

When we think Mcdonalds, some of us think "yum", some think "grose" and some think "I really shouldn't, but i really want to...", but we never think architecture. With the exception of a few unique versions, such as the one in Roswell, New Mexico, McDonalds restaurants are characterized by the golden arches of the gigantic 'M' in front of the building and we hardly take notice of the building itself ... although in most cases that is probably because there isn't much to take notice of ... Well not any more.

A brand new Mickey D's has opened in Batumi in the republic of Georgia. Constructed using 460 glass panels and with a combination of fuel station, McDonalds , wonderland boasts pools, cantilevered glass walls, and a raked indoor garden, it may just be the ultimate achievement in fast food architecture. Designed by the Georgian firm Khmaladze Architects, the building was completed in October 2012. Architizer reports the designers' goal was "to create an iconic urban node."
