    They're going to cap the park through most of downtown, so in effect they're not widening the highway.. they're getting rid of it

    Why do they put the exposed parking garage side facing the main street? I'll never understand these bonehead decisions.

    It seems more and more architects can only be bothered to design half a building. I wish i could go to work and only do half my job, take a crap in my bosses office, and then get a pay raise to boot.

    How is this conversation ridiculous? People expect their art museums to be well . . . artistically redeeming. The only thing that separates the Beck building from any other nondescript building is the fact that it has "art museum" written all over it. My only point is that the Beck museum is nothing more than an architectural mediocrity.

    There's a scene in game of thrones where Tywin tells joffrey that no true king has to say "I am king!" If you have to write art museum on your building to distinguish it from a central chilling station, then you're probably doing something wrong. I went to the contemporary art museum in DC and there was an exhibit that was just a blank white canvas. The Beck museum is the architectural embodiment of that canvas.

    what kind of temple shoots off fireworks every week? Like, I could be looking to convert.

    Don't disagree with your take on murals. But calling the Audrey Jones Beck building "world class architecture" is a stretch. The thing is a concrete block.

    Actually this picture best illustrates what's going on. In fact, the first two floors appear to be perfectly parallel with runnels st. From the 3rd floor up things get swooshy.

    Yea the curve is visible from multiple angles and even appears in the drawing. I find the curve strange because that section of runnels street (on the east side) is completely straight. So rather than conforming with runnels street the building actually curves away from it. A curious design decision to say the least.

    I don't get the slight curve with this one away from runnels streets. Maybe I'm missing something but it doesn't seem to serve any purpose?

    Easy on the copium hits dude. The water looks objectively disgusting, like toilet water after a late night taco bell run disgusting. Every time I take someone to the bayou downtown they comment on the color of the water. I grew up in San Antonio and no one would ever go to the river walk if it was this color. There's no reason the bayou can't copy the success of the river walk, but the color of the water is a major factor holding it back. I'm not sure if permanently dying the water is even possible. If it is, however, that's clearly the way to go.

    I see they're planning to dye the water blue! That's an awesome addition! In all seriousness, why can't we change the color of the water? If chicago can dye their river green for saint patties why cant we dye ours blue?

    this is one thicc boy

    What is the purpose of the netting? To keep stuff from falling on passerbys?

    Very few people live downtown. And most people aren't at the office at night.
