Unique design @ UC Davis

I first noticed this in freshman year, but I didn't get a chance to blog about it until now.

When I first saw this railing I thought it was a DNA form, until I looked at it from the side


it's actually a quite plain railing, just the unique curvature makes it appear as that DNA-form in the first picture from the front point of view. I thought that this example of design was a good example of how our perception of the world is subjective and can vary depending on everyone's own point of view and though processes. I would like to know if anyone else thought the same thing I did when I first saw this railing...

The railing shown is visible if you look out to the parking building from the Memorial Union bus stop area at UC Davis in Davis, California.
