Skyboxdweller Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 On 8/21/2022 at 8:48 PM, classic said: I don't have an answer to this for the Houston project, but the Toronto touchstone (IE the Aga Khan Park wherein theIsmaili Centre Toronto and Aga Khan Museum reside) is fully accessible all the time. Quite literally, all the time. Quite a different attitude towards guns, immigrants, social obligations and inequality in Toronto than in Texas. We live in a fortress society to some extent to protect us from the chaos that we sometimes mistake for liberty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirbyDriveKid Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Sorry to do this, but what apartment building is that rising in the background? The one in this photo on the line between the Ismaili Center and the Hanover Autry Park. I think it is on Waugh? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luminare Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) Wow, now that is one beefy set of girders... EDIT: I was just fantasizing about the coordination meeting when architecture presented this to structure. Arch: We want this large column free space, and want this nice and open, oh and there is also a space above this. Structure: Well if you want to do that then more than likely we will need to manufacture a custom steel girder with a depth of 6'... Arch: Yeah we want one of those. Is that a problem? Structure: Not a problem, its just expensive. Arch: I've been told money is not an issue. Structure: Okay, if you say so...

cityliving Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 This is going to be a Architecturally significant structure, the octagonal shapes on the building are visible from up above, something that people can't see from street view. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
