This image really makes the barracks look terrible. The aerial shot might make these images viewable, but let's not overlook the task of production. Whoever carved up this cornfield certainly wasn't doing it from the air. They had the foresight to imagine the aerial perspective. And their imagination seems sufficiently elaborate. How then was the simple and offensive geometry of the barracks allowed to escape this aerial imagination? I guess function: the cornfield, after it's given up its corn (which I'd guess is in Nash's home country of Canada and not in Arizona), is only useful as an image from the air. The barracks were never meant to be scrutinized much beyond its terrestrial function. One might couple the barracks with other google imagery to talk about how technology makes the scrutiny of the gaze significantly more traumatic (and perhaps use that in an effort to account for why someone would go to so much work to convert a Canadian cornfield).
