Interesting... and I'm glad RED is being so confident. But, the only way that CityScape will be fodder on postcards, or recognizable from the air, is if it is architecturally significant and a new tallest in Phoenix. If it is 3-4 pretty cool towers equal in height, it will be homogenous, which is exactly what he mocks about suburbia and says CityScape won't be.

Funny, many of us have posted comments on the CityScape website that were published where we hammer the point that the buildings need to be significant, and one needs to be the tallest in Phoenix for CityScape to really "work". It was even mentioned that there would be a windfall by being so recognizable on pictures and in TV, on postcards, and newscasts... maybe they're actually reading the comments and taking them to heart.

Seriously, if CityScape brings a new tallest to Phoenix, and a cool one to boot, I think we'd all be happy with the amount of construction we've been given downtown for at least a decade.
