Fringe Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I agree. They want a team that can sell tickets. Rice is lucky if 10,000 people attend one of their games. I will say with the new football complex Rice might be able to attract better players. Only problem Rice will insist they're players be able to read and write which puts them at a huge disadvantage with major schools in big conferences. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Well, maybe not by our local "journalists", but I know I saw them on the list somewhere.) Oh ok, I must have missed that. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EllenOlenska Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 (edited) The Tower of London in rouged brick built on a parking lot is something I'd beg for in Houston. Edit: Yeah, meant brick.

Subdude Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Not neoclassic. More neo-Romanesque would be my guess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it would be much appreciated, it seems the current zeitgeist is headed towards a Neo-Romantic path, which will soon translate itself to architecture, if it hasn't already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bad, I was just trying to lump all the pre-war architectural styles into one umbrella term. Craftsmanship, detailing and ornamentation were truly amazing before the war. Almost every single building was built like a masterpiece back then. Even art-deco's simple lines and curves are something that I would love more of. I doubt that the styles will ever make a return, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets get that one McMansion architect down the block. Rice was definitely looking for a firm that could replicate the style of its older buildings. Allan Greenberg was the way to go. He is one of the leading figures in New Classical architecture, and his firm's previous works truly are beautiful. http://www.allangreenberg.com/projects/dupont-hall/ Don't get me wrong, I don't want beef with anybody, but you could've at least looked this guy up before deriding him as a "McMansion architect'. How disgusting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rechlin Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I took this photo earlier in the month and never got around to posting it, but nobody else has provided updates so it's still a good 6 weeks more current than anything else out there. This is the new parking garage and office building, mostly finished. Not the greatest photo but I was just walking by, and this was the best view I could get from the side I was on: 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
