Montrose1100 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 "Super Highway" & "Traffic Jam"!! Thats the truth though. I remember the good ole' days when the Katy Freeway was the only clogged up one, now every other freeway is clogged up EXCEPT for the Katy Freeway!

lockmat Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 I really don't get the "concrete jungle" description. Do we really have any more concrete than other cities? I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the architecture is really bland to them (which it is, but the city makes up for that because there are so many buildings).Two Words: Exciting and disappointing (sometimes).

UrbaNerd Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 You call yourselves architecture students???!?!? *goes to cry in the corner* Sadly, my personal experiences show that many architecture students just are not "into it" that much. Perhaps I should introduce some of them to HAIF or something... What I wanna know is...when were these guys there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NenaE Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 So very young, those students. I would be more interested in what the arch. graduates would say...didn't sound like any of them like Houston very much, "boring", really? ...and I thought one would give a description of the architecture in this city. They talked about the climate. diverse international eclectic friendly tropical (oh sorry, that's five) & careless (most of the time, about it's arch. history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heights2Bastrop Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 How to describe Houston? “We know”It doesn’t matter what other areas of the country think of us, “we know” what Houston is all about. It doesn’t matter how they rate us in any stupid, inane poll, “we know” where Houston stands in our minds and hearts. It doesn’t matter how others see Houston’s future. “We know” Houston will come out on top in the long run.“Can do” is another two-word description. How to describe Houston Architecture? “It works”I don’t mean to be confrontational, but I think the Dallas skyline is – well, less than appealing. Same goes for Austin and that gawd awful spiked tower. Some people love it, but not me. There are some interesting buildings, but they don’t go together, in my opinion.Houston’s skyline is a jumble of architectural styles, but they just seem to somehow fit together like pieces of a landscape puzzle. I think the Houston skyline is the best in the country. But then, I’m biased.My personal two words?“I left”, but only because I was ready for some Country Living. And I love it!
