dalparadise Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Good for Austin, I guess, but zzzzzzzzzzz.Pelli hasn't done anything for me in a long time. This doesn't seem to offer anything to change that perception I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H-Town Man Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 It is at least fresh. More than can be said for most of what's proposed in Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 How exactly is it "fresh"? Houston may not be setting the world on fire with it's current design trend, but there are certainly a number of towers that have gone up, or have been proposed that are better than this.Edit: I was refering to H-Town mans following statement, not Dal's which I initally replied to."It is at least fresh.

Subdude Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 What is with the top section? Is it just a decorative scrim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
