It's funny how most people have seen renderings of this building for the past 6 or 7 years. I wonder how many people who see it for the first time once it is done don't even flinch? I feel like for...

Cool, never noticed.

If they had preserved the five points there, that would have been ideal. How cool would it have been to walk into a 19th century ghetto right next to the financial center?" If they preserved that...

Buildings like this are the reason it's so easy to get lost down there. It's a labyrinth wall, blocking off any semblance of a city. I think this neighborhood should be renamed little Fort Worth.

In response to the Newark jabber. It's city status has improved of late. There's actually a nice little art scene developing there. Go there for the Portoguese festival. That's pretty fun. ...

I've got to kill 12+ hours in Tokyo in two weeks. Does anyone have any tips for stuff to do within that time period? I was planning on taking the train to Tokyo, and then coming back early and...

Some of my best memories of the World Fair Site are the many shoot outs I was involved in there while being pursued by the law.

Good times. :rolleyes:

You don't have a picture by any chance do you?

Hey, I didn't know where to ask this question, but do any of you know of someone who took a relatively mundane house (raised ranch, four square, etc.) and turned it into something redeemable? I'm...

Who's going to pony up and trash a room here ala "Fear and Loathing in Los Vegas"?

Love it. Beautiful, and it doesn't look expensive to reproduce either. There's not a lot of design out there that can be reproduced by the plebes.

I don't know about this one. I think if you saw it from the right angle, it would look like a beachfront hotel.

The theory behind it is interesting though.

Yeah, I liked that too. I think they should do their best to make the colors vibrant, just like the drawing. I don't care if they even put down the fake grass they use in domes.

It looks so...

Wait, I figured out why these guys were familiar to me... :eek:

Are's isn't the only empire to go down over bad credit.

Why are there Roman Legions marching around the base of it. Or they going to go toe to toe with the Visa-Goths or something?

And they'll get the World Cup, considering everyone seems to think that Americans do actually like the sport. Keep banging your head against that wall guys.

God, our brain trusts here in New York are effecting the rest of the world now as well. :eek:

Jean Nouvel and Frank Gehry look like they're trying to start a miracle waterfront mile there. I'm sure somebody will sink a Kaufmann in there and that will be the end of that. :(

We just don't do it as well anymore either. Look at the new stadiums. I like them both, but would I consider them adequate examples of their respective architecture: no. They're sterile and...

Maybe so, but the beau arts movement wasn't sustainable for it. They had a bubble in the 20's just like we had the last few years. It popped, and you started to get much more austere "modern"...

Are you saying their loans were all approved and signed for? Did they have the money in the bank? All the t's crossed and i's dotted?

Still, they spent a whole bunch of money on prepping the site, and building the foundation, yet they had no idea where the money to complete the thing was coming from. They didn't have their ducks...

Don't hate the Monolith, hate the game. With changing emphasis towards steel in construction, it was only a matter of time that stone and brick were abandoned aside for aesthetic purposes. Steel...
