I used to always comment on "old" topics - I suppose this is installed (I was in the neighborhood yesterday and today and had no idea a new sculpture had been installed)? I have to wonder though if the artist was really looking at the surrounding neighborhood when they designed the artwork? It seems like it could easilly be out of place - but I will reserve judgement until I see it later this week. Nice to see that atleast the New York Times keeps up with our arts "scene".

Wow! Its been a few years since I was last on here! I missed the other 50 replies, but will say based on the initial rendering I am disapointed in the architecture of this building. If you are going to spend $100 million on a building whats another 1 - 2 million for a little bit better architecture. Sure HKS isn't Renzo or Foster but I think they could crank out a better design (this is all based on the first rendering I looked at on the first post). And I guess the first building was torn down back when Houston Center was being planned. Didn't the original plan include like 8 - 10 highrises around the Park Shops development? Probably why it was torn down, sad though!
