  1. I think the Soviet stuff is more attractive. As y'all know I don't like to be a downer but I am not a fan of suitcase handles on buildings.
  2. imo IF it were limestone/granite it would be good, and if it were in the city (say midtown) it would be doubly good.
  3. So...on the subject of that base? What type of material would be of high quality to give it the appearance it has in the rendering? What would be low quality?
  4. Really should be not only a metrorail from downtown up Washington to this but also a metrorail to a growing downtown Heights send tweet
  5. This is good This is actually ethical vis-a-vis the park. It has a very good relationship with the park.
  6. People talking like this is real. I came to believe that actually this was gonna be a three story warehouse.
  7. Jesus doesn't save old buildings in Houston.
  8. You're stealing my idea for Houston side raised (magical) bridle path lanes.
  9. The most ambitious Houston renderings outside of the 300 foot buildings that have glass atriums which open to the pierce elevated park.
  10. I remember reading Houston once had a train to the Heights. Anti-progress.
  11. My favorite thing about big ambitious non-building focused projects like this is the fake orange midrises they put everywhere. Once we build this nice park--waterfront midrises and charming Continental European malls are gonna pop up everywhere. In the renderings, I mean.
  12. I like the Rice Opera House. What would make it better? Maybe be in a street grid.
  13. The humorous counter-factual would be if they knocked the thing, dug a pit and built something that looked like a gutted version of the original building.
  14. Oh, man, soon midtown Houston might be as urban as...checks notes...downtown Kalmazoo
  15. People who don't just go to fat cat flummox me.
