    I didn't. I was merely relieved that my taste is not that of a kid. (I'm being somewhat facetious, here.) Though, I must admit, I personally think even BIG's most gimmicky projects beat Heritage Plaza hands down. Added note: My post with the link to photos of other BIG projects was specifically referring to their façades and not necessarily to the designs of the structures themselves.

    Not me. I'm the one who posted the link to BIG's more interesting work. I'm continuously disappointed (when not disgusted) by the timidity of Houston architecture. But Heritage Plaza is still awful.
  3. MidCenturyMoldy
    Well, I guess that means my taste matches my advanced age then because Heritage Plaza (no ‘Texas’ in the name) is a hideous monstrosity and the building with the hole in it in Dallas is... thankfully in Dallas.

    The article seems to be behind a translucent-semi-circular-glass-tubes-covered paywall.

    Looking at the façades on other BIG projects just makes me go "WHAAA???" with Discovery West. https://bit.ly/3bNnIdJ

    I would prefer a less disjointed curve with a horizontal pattern instead of this building's vertical. Not necessarily exactly like the buildings in these photos, but something along these lines. The Skanska design looks blocky to me...like, literally lining up blocks in a curved pattern.

    Is it safe now for me to admit I hate it? 😄

    I'm not going to recognize the place when I finally get back to town. 😮

    I never called it "Cruise-y Kroger," I always figured "cruise-y" was a given with "disco." Anyway, I used to make midnight Haagen-Dazs runs there starting in 1979. They only had one register open, so there was always a line.

    Sad. They had dependably good Singapore Fried Rice Noodles.

    If people in "reality" television actually got fired for stupidity there would be no "reality" television.

    And then...

    Off topic: I was skimming through HBO Max's new "reality" series about the wealthy Vietnamese family who live in River Oaks to see how the shots of Houston look. Just barely into the second episode I turned it off in disgust. Can anyone guess why?

    OK, not specifically for "Highrise Tower" but, I have to ask. For DECADES, when heading west on West Gray through Waugh, I would always see the two Four Leaf Towers straight ahead in the distance. I haven't been home since late February so I haven't been able to look, but I'm guessing this building blocks one or both of them. Somebody will, of course, go out and take a look for me...right? 😛

    More found photos.

    That's what struck me last year when I was in the sculpture garden imagining the removal of the wooden barriers. I also think the Glassell's plaza makes the garden much more inviting to people on the street.

    Are you casting aspersions on the great Nancy Sarnoff??? 😮😯😲😳 </joking>

    Yeah, I know, but Dallas has a lot because Preston is a major road. The Chronicle's article states that "Preston" is being used by apartments throughout the country but only Dallas is specifically mentioned. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/real-estate/article/Hines-renames-downtown-apartment-tower-15702576.php

    Too things in Dallas named Preston.

    It's actually from the MFAH Kinder Building webpage. https://www.mfah.org/about/nancy-and-rich-kinder-building

    I miss the pre-remodeled La Tapatia with its pickled vegetables and free soup with every order.
