HoustonBoy Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 That looks great. I hope we can get some vertical greenery! Something like Bosco Verticale being the ultimate goal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinsanity02 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I respectfully disagree. Not only does it look displeasing to the eye, in my opinion, but they are inviting an increase in insect and rat problems throughout the building. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a difference between living in a jungle in a building that has these things. Its a completely different thing when its applied as a controled aesthetic that doubly functions a way to cool the building and bring a sense of nature. I have yet to hear any evidence that this approach does what you suggest. The aesthetic part might not be your cup of tea, and thats fine ("to each his own"), but I'll have to contend with you in regards to insects and rats. Maybe I'm ignorant, but do you have evidence to support this claim? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoustonIsHome Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 I agree Triton. I pulled up my lawn and planted a forest around my house. Sunday I found a praying mantis and a walking-stick bug in my bathroom. Creepy, but that's a small price to pay for enjoying my food forest. Luminare great photos. I wish they would do that with the old Exxon/ Humble Oil building downtown 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinsanity02 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 (edited) I live along a canal on the lake and my property is heavily wooded. One section is relatively untouched east Texas forest. We have opossums, skunks, raccoons, which traverse our yard. We love it except all the skeeters we have. Having said that I still think the design looks ugly and the folks who live there better be ready for insect and potentially vermin problems. Rats and mice will have no problem climbing all that greenery. Saying is nature could include cancer, tornadoes, malaria etc. We have houses to keep much of nature out.

skooljunkie Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 The green buildings are unique for sure. I question the maintenance aspect more than the bugs and rats though. I have had fist fights with roaches and a honey bee invasion in my non-green building so it can happen anywhere in the city. I’ve seen rats living in fig ivy along walls for sure. All good points and all should be considered frankly. There are ways to control all these creatures though, and it shouldn’t stop us from being creative with design right? Just get creative with solutions at the same time. Or we could channel cable news and lose in life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But let anyone else do, who also post the ENTIRE article and there's not a single peep when it's done by others. I take issue with it. Either direct those comments and apply the same scrutiny to everyone or keep your comments about me to yourself. This forum gets angry with people quickly but it also forgives and forgets quickly. If you find a consistent criticism aimed at your direction from various people, maybe just listen to it and make an adjustment in your posting style. Also, you're the only poster who has ever had a problem with Urbannizer. You may seem right in your head, put it's going to be hard to convince other people.

Something my boss once told me a little while back was, "You don't have to act like you have something to prove. You have the talent, and the skill. You don't need to come to work with that monkey on your back." I had already been applying this to life, but was still carrying that "monkey" on my back when it comes to architecture / work at the office, when in reality I didn't have too. What I took away from that was the deeper meaning of letting my work do the talking for me. This goes the same for you. You have the great posting history, you are one of the best in finding info that the community values (even when it sometimes seems like the community doesn't). Let your work speak for you, so you don't have too. If you want to sprinkle some snark, wit, and passion then put that into your actual posts. Let that do the work for you instead of your replies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also stated, this is a mixed used development with 4 residential towers. Height for Tower C3 is at 600', and Tower A2 is 570' right now. I have a feeling those four residential towers aren't going to be the only buildings built in the final development. Especially since a hotel was stated to be here.
