This park would be a good opportunity in the future to bridge-cap over I-69 like Klyde Warren Park in Dallas. Yeah, I went there..

Lower Westheimer Road Construction

The streets are pretty bad, but apparently not bad enough to get people to slow down over said potholes. -
Why did they cut down the trees in the ROW?

There's still the Melrose tower..

Days Inn should be converted into a high-rise mausoleum.

He can block rail, but can he get Richmond re-surfaced & paved? Such a waste.

I gonna miss getting lunch at the ET grill ("eat grill").

Must be a different design entry. The park has "MIDTOWN" spelled out similar to the I :heart: Houston sign on I-10.

You can see through the Lars Bang addition now with windows taken out on both eastern and western faces.

The old building looks encased in glass formaldehyde, like Stone's 2 Columbia Cir. by Allied Works' for MAD.

What boxes?

That was a april fool's joke..

Those geothermal drills/impacters on the parking lot side look pretty cool. It's also kinda Houston serendipity that they have 4/5 of a block, makes for some interesting boundary conditions.

In weird sort of way I want WAZ to get what he thinks is right i.e. public hearings, so that I can create an architectural PR firm to game public sentiment like FOX news. I'll be a millionaire! Edit: Ultimately it doesn't matter if you consider it a "smart" or "dumb" development. It's their property and WHO ARE YOU TO TELL THEM WHAT TO DO WITH IT?

The church across Main also provides a stabilizing presence. Can't say I'll miss that semi-brutalist bldg, but on the bright side I never really had much trouble finding a parking spot there. It will probably sit on the market for a couple quarters and get sold off into two properties unless some real chutzpah comes along.

Hey I represent that! I capitulated to privatization argument. If we spend another 5 years debating this, it's just going to be too late by then. I think I'll go down there this weekend and do some Beaux-Arts renderings of it in it's current glory, ala Boullée.

So turn a former public arena into a private studio, right? On the face of it my reaction was to say this is a bad idea, but pride is always the last shoe to drop so I think this is really the best choice on the table. My disclosure is that I absolutely loathe vacant buildings, especially significant buildings that make me feel like I'm living in the dark ages and the enlightenment simultaneously as I see Reliant stadium and the Astrodome from the south loop. I wish we had the stuff it takes to make that jump from neglectful inevitability to former spirit of it's construction. It's future is also connected to the former astrowolrd lot, such sad shape these two, like forgotten dreams as a faded background to bulky absorbed newness of the Reliant complex. Will the people accept the sacrifice of the Astrodome? To learn that if nothing happens and it remains vacant, and eventually demo'd, that finally it may be time to reflect upon having some teeth for local historical preservation laws.

I'm sure folks who grew up in the '30's would resent that their children from the boom years represent culture considering most of the developments listed are products of the boomer generation (crack, assault weapons, etc). As such your culture was largely formed from the value systems of the '30's generation, so to claim that the culture of that time period is yours when you were tabla rasa is disingenuous. The real culture of the '60s was and is now the counter-culture revolution, your posting on a product of it's conceptual paradigm now! I believe we are living in the most clandestine epitome of freedom now and tomorrow is truly a brighter future considering the undercurrents of real culture today. Anything else is simply propaganda and being disconnected never felt so good.

I've done better hand renderings on soaked cocktail napkins! Somebody should get fired. No comment on the master plan.
