I could do without the wind turbines but yes, it is super-cool.

So is the building in Louisville, although it would look SO much better without the Ruth's Chris sign (and with a good cleaning). It's so top-heavy, it appears to be floating - perfect for a building that's all about lacy lightness.

Unfortunately the screen is built with exposed aggregate concrete, so it cannot be painted or easily cleaned - it is truly the world's ugliest construction material. If the screen was done in modern precast, it would be a thing of beauty.



Also beautiful at night:
