KinkaidAlum Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Spire would make sense because there's no way this one is currently 395 feet. Spire could get it there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look closely there are actually 8 in this picture (and 4 hidden by the white condo at Hermann hospital). From left to right 1 the blue and white crane at the MFAH expansion, 2 blue and white at Methodist North, 3 yellow Liebherr's at the Museum expansion, 1 blue at Latitude hotel and apartments and 1 at the Morgan Whole Foods apartments. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Urbannizer Posted March 6, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted March 6, 2018 http://www.walterpmoore.com/projects/houston-methodist-arms-christ-mural-relocation The Arms of Christ Mural is positioned on the front of Houston Methodist building complex. The mosaic, constructed in Florence, Italy in 1963, preceded the addition of a porte cochere and the growth of trees planted in front of the building over the span of 40+ years. Walter P Moore worked together with an art preservationist to come up with the best plan to retain the mural’s artistic and structural integrity. Ultimately, the mural was strategically dissected and remounted inside the lobby of the hospital using an innovative gravity connections in order to minimize damage to the mural. Relocation of the mural required careful and comprehensive planning in order to minimize damage. During the relocation process, Walter P Moore provided load check services for rigging support during the cutting and removal of the mural from the exterior wall and took a comprehensive approach to designing a new framing system for relocation of the mural. To preserve the pieces and decrease the occurrence of damage to the tiles, the framing system was designed to carry the weight of the mural panels in a similar way to the original design. All gravity loads were carried through mechanical fasteners instead of mural material or adhesives. Another interesting approach was to place the relocated mosaic in tension to avoid cracking. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slcowart416 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 The title says "North Campus Expansion". To me, North Campus implies The Woodlands or something. This building seems to be in the Med Center Proper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highrise Tower Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 A garden in the sky lifts patients’ spirits at Houston Methodist https://www.tmc.edu/news/2019/11/a-garden-in-the-sky-lifts-patients-spirits-at-houston-methodist/ Quote A burst of color 21 stories above the Texas Medical Center, Horizon’s Hope garden offers Houston Methodist patients and staff the healing benefits of nature. Plans for the rooftop garden began to bloom last fall when Renee Stubbins, Ph.D., senior research oncology dietitian, and Ashley Verzwyvelt, an oncology infusion nurse liaison, submitted a proposal for a natural oasis on the roof to the Center for Health and Nature. The center, housed at Houston Methodist, is a partnership between Houston Methodist, Texas A&M University and Texan by Nature, a nonprofit conservation group. Now, more than a year later, the garden has sprung to life at Houston Methodist Hospital-Outpatient Center. “It can be so crazy and stressful up here, ” Verzwyvelt said. “Once you see that view and … this huge, impactful mural and the flowers, it just melts all of that stress.” After Verzwyvelt and Stubbins were awarded funding by the center for the garden, members of the community reached out to get involved. Architects and planners donated their time to design a safe, relaxing space. Houston’s prolific muralist, Gonzo247, formally known as Mario E. Figueroa Jr., painted a mural to accent the garden. Rich shades of blue, orange and pink, reminiscent of a Texas sunset, blend seamlessly into a hill of wildflowers. “Gonzo did such a good job,” Stubbins said. “He matched our vision perfectly. … Some people might think it’s a little disorganized, but I really wanted it to look like a meadow.” Still in its early stages, the garden is not yet open to anyone except the Houston Methodist staff maintaining it. For now, the garden, which is visible from multiple patient rooms, will provide pleasant views and be part of a clinical trial with Texas A&M University to test the benefits of nature in a hospital setting. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of three rooms while receiving regular chemotherapy infusions: a room with a view of the garden, a control room with no windows, or a room where the patients will experience nature via a virtual reality headset. The trial will examine whether interaction with nature improves the patient experience. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
