Dependence on parking signs to make your project interesting is bad practice-...
They now have flashy parking ramp signs that look like something out of the '30's. I kind of like the effect.

There are good qualities about all these projects. The issue is to carry that through the entire project and not skimp by using cheap materials in very visible locations and only using it in a manner that is discreet and judicious. Wedgeguy's comments about the base (at the corners) is case in point.To compare this to Penfield is...not right. I rather like this building as do others. Penfield, AFAIK, has been universally condemned here. .BKV has the same problem with their Lake and Knox and Penfield projects.
Looked like wood slats when they were installing this a few days back.Not sure what they are adding to the front of the Walkway. It looks like some wood slats that have an inch gap between them?
Doesn't that basically describe just about everything, people included in uptown?^^^This project is turning out to be a rather strange yet sort of fun mix of confusing things going on in the design. It really can't make up its mind what it wants to be. Honestly, sometimes I really like it and sometimes I really hate it.
Yes, kind of like people watching on a summer evening at the intersection of Hennepin and Lake.Doesn't that basically describe just about everything, people included in uptown?
Once again basically describing the people of uptown lolI really loved this building when it was fully framed and you could see the shape of it, but I think I am liking it less now that the finishing materials are being added. It looks like it never decided what to be when it grew up. Maybe when they renovate it in 50 years it will be reclad and be nicer then. It could have been a great building, it was almost there. The form is good.
If they add some sort of cool lighting display there, as pictured, that mirrored area will light up like crazy at night... creating a really cool 24 hour city kind of look... I'm excited for that kind of playful night time attitude in uptown!Generally, I think this is a very handsome project, but I just don't get the newly added mirrored cornice.
I think when its all lit up and running it will add a lot of pizazz. Whatever your opinion of the architecture it can't be called boring.If they add some sort of cool lighting display there, as pictured, that mirrored area will light up like crazy at night... creating a really cool 24 hour city kind of look...
