Take that spire and put it in Mobile. Hmm.

Am I the only one that feels like those NY proposals were done using SC2K's Urban Renewal Kit?

yes thats the horrible yonkers riverfront one. and it has a second equally nasty tower next to it thats thinner. who the hell is will asop anyways?

and im not really a fan of museum tower or whatever its called in louisville, but i don't outright hate it. except that rear view. thats just tragic

Yeah, ain't it a beaut? And people call it architecture! Three ice-cold corporate boxes awkwardly positioned onto concrete slabs forbiddingly positioned over a giant pedestrian plaza. What the hell is Louisville thinking?

There was this one in Dubai with the measles facade.

Lecom · #51 Posted **Aug 17, 2007, 8:14 PM**

Yea, that one tower in Dubai giving another genital warts through sexual intercourse is a monster.

Honestly it is starting to grow on me.. I always like it.

CGII · #53 Posted **Aug 18, 2007, 3:44 AM**

Yeah, that Louisville proposal has really grown on me, and I think it'd be a nice spin on modernism.

GVNY · #54 Posted **Aug 18, 2007, 11:31 PM**

Like it, love it, but don't build it. Louisville needs a centralized, accesible landmark everyone can enjoy.

This thing in the heart of Saigon, Vietnam......which I call the watering can, is the dumbest building I have ever seen. I understand they have actually done some site prep for it. Saigon already has a number of very garish highrise buildings but no city deserves this.
