I love how that view intentionally blocks out the Trump Tower and doesn't include Vista. |
^ it is likely that nothing was blocked intentionally and that vista just isn't there because the photo they used for the rendering was taken before it existed in the skyline.
The whole composition is pretty weird the more you look at it. I think the images on the left and right of the column splitting the middle are entirely different photos. The horizon lines are at different elevations. I don't know what is going on with the buildings in the lower left quadrant, but it is stretched and filled in very weird ways. Like, what's up with the reddish brown building that I assume is the tower in from of the LaSalle St station? It changes textures randomly near the top. There is even a somewhat visible line across that part of the image where everything below it looks like is was just kind of rubber stamped in |
^ yea, some manipulation for sure. Almost comical.

upon installation it was hidden. i hope it keeps the ability to shrink down and retract into the building. nema is too tall of a gem to have some mechanics sticking out the top Quote:

I think this has been mentioned before, but the north-facing vertical stripes on both this (2 are visible now, 2 more will appear once the skip is gone) and Essex compliment one another just perfectly. :cheers:

Crane coming down...

Those photos make me dream of the day that they 1) bury the tracks and 2) narrow Columbus Ave back down to the narrow boulevard it should be, rather than basically being a divided highway running through an urban park. It should be at most two lanes in each direction, including turning lanes, with no parking. And closed to traffic most of the time like the Drives in Central Park. Then make Jackson and Balbo one way with two lanes.

They had the whole southern segment lit up tonight. I’m usually civil on this forum, but holy shit guys !!!
I’m amazed the city approved it as is, they might just be testing bulbs? I wouldn’t be surprised to see complaints from the nimbys. Nick, Harry, pretty please get out here one of these nights to capture the spectacle. When the building is fully inhabited it will sparkle during the evening and slowly fade into the darkness overnight |

Looking back, I really wish that Rahm and George Lucas had come up with a scheme to cover the tracks south of the Art Institute to put the Lucas Museum. That would have been a huge win for the city. The final design for LA came out fairly narrow anyway. Missed opportunity. |
^Couldn't really have done that. The prohibition on buildings in the park between Randolph and 11th Place is pretty airtight.

A cheaper solution is to simply pedestrianize Columbus for about 6 months per year.
Replave it into something a bit more attractive and traffic-calming. Problem solved. |
