The area quartered off might just be a staging area for construction in those mentioned areas.

I sorta dig the truss structure itself - it's about as light as it can be for those spans. But I've always been irked by the sloppy concrete deck and rats nest of hvac too. Skylights would definitely make a cool renovation.

I'm trying to imagine city and state officials riding the SL1 from the airport when it opened. It's by far the most rattily, loud, indigent bus routes I've taken in the city. The little intermission at Silverline Way where the driver has to exit the bus and manually switch the gear at the back...

Reference this reply with construction sequence video embedded. There are vertical members flanking the main arches under the core.

Is this a joke

Coincidentally, a mid-tier architecture enthusiast youtuber released a video a couple weeks ago about building signage. It's focus is mainly on the Trump Tower in Chicago, but speaks generally about the evolution of signage both culturally and about its waning relevance. And for what it's...

The Minneapolis tower has the benefit of having more opaque cladding material for light to cast onto at night. This is all glass so you really won't be able to get the dramatic effects on each setback that you see there.

Really?

You're forgiven. It's a very popular park and especially great to run/bike down. Really cool scale of space and separated well enough from the riverside path. I linger pretty often. Coincidentally I was just at SoWa today and spent a good amount of time at the urban park space under 93 which is...

To be fair, there's successful precedent for this working elsewhere. Riverside park in NYC has a viaduct running over it and it creates a very cool space with paths parallel and crossing below. Playgrounds, sports courts, running tracks, a little cafe, etc. Not directly the same since Bowker is...

Could we at least chop off the ".org" from the old ugly logo? The URL is ".com" ... or get rid of the box in a box

Is this design a joke

Ohhh you're right! Awesome find.

Ugh. God that's so dull. Such a disappointingly typical VE of public infrastructure in this city... Is there a more recent presentation your pulling that screenshot from? I couldn't find anything updated on the bpda site.

Yeah probably. The rendering is very ambiguous - I swear that's a board form texture I've used a hundred times before, but maybe just some notional tile of something with hairline vertical joints . The earlier iteration even showed a zoomed out view of an edge with seemingly raked concrete...

At the risk of sounding petty or a downer (these are great photos and very cool to see the formwork come down), these arches look quite a bit more typical than the elegant catenary-like ones we saw in the rendering. The spring point is much higher and the proportions are more stumpy - nearly...

I thought exactly the same lmao. What a bland and soulless set of renderings. The 3rd one with that platform and selfie zones:rolleyes: show the most "design." But it looks way too far from the glass to be any use? Half of their photos are gunna be just blank floor behind them and then skyline...

Can we stop taking photos from moving cars. Also stop zooming in digitally to the point where the subject is group of 20 blurry pixels. The image with the iPhone camera UI (presumably from a screenshot) made me laugh though lol

I wish the bright silver accent trim and window mullions were a darker finish. I'm also disappointed by the brickwork as shown. Feels very color-by-number and the checkerboard patterns don't have enough room to resolve or integrate in those small strips between more silver trim. Also unclear to...
