    Hey look it's Regent Square.

    I think the building is cool as hell and also that the treatment of adjuncts in the modern U is unjust.

    To me, if this is an open series of gardens and a cultural center that is mostly open to the public then this is the best thing for the land.
  4. EllenOlenska
    Yes--and I've seen the argument (and parroted on here) that it was the fullest flowering of Frank Lloyd Wright's idea of a single huge tower dominating a deserted plain. Now I don't mind a large tower going beside it--but if it gains something, it also will lose something.

    A watched pot et cetera

    Get in a time machine and give your outcry to the demolition of the super cool First State Bank Building in Pasadena

    Good, we need a little 1983's 1400 Smith St. in midtown.

    Damn it, don't make me love this building.
  9. EllenOlenska
    Frasier was more casual.

    I guess it also depends on how you define midrise. Above about 8 tend to be built to last. Below 4 look like tinderboxes.

    I'm here to say if in all of midtown there is one big grocery than that's three two few.
  12. EllenOlenska
    I'm just gonna echo @CREguy13 and say something like this in midtown is really going to change the look of midtown. Houston is so spread out, a really tall building doesn't make much sense here. In some sense this sort of thing is necessary before we can begin to get very tall buildings. And I for one still remember when, except for two peculiar buildings, all the buildings in midtown were two to four stories tall.

    Yeah the original has an avenue while the new one seems to have a Woodlands-esque pond.

    So...about those rendering at the top of this thread...... Edit: It is still large

    That future 18th street monorail gonna be sweet
