Developer Wants to Replace Loop Parking Garage With 33-Story Rental Tower
The Aon was never a "beautiful steel structure" except during construction. Like most Edward Durrell Stone buildings it was clad in stone from the beginning. Never a favorite of mine it has improved as its context has changed.
Updated But Original-Looking Cliff May in Long Beach's Rancho Estates
13,
Well Neutra is pretty much everyones favorite architect, myself included. I’m actually obsessed with his VDL house at 2300 silver lake blvd, among others. I’ve scurried all the photos I could find anywhere. Add Ellwood, Matsumoto, Fickett, Killingsworth, Khan, and Moshe Safdie’s Habitat 67 complex to my list, hence my user name.
Maybe you’re not a fan of a Cliff May’s home, but I really like them. My only complaint is that they’re a burglars dream. Neutra, Schindler, etc, never never really had tracts, so purchasing one of their homes has pretty much become unattainable , at least for me that is.
@Edward: If all the transportation based taxes I pay were actually used for our roads, bridges, etc. and not used for various social programs, not only would all those true costs be paid, but I would be owed a sizable refund.
@Edward: He does come off as somewhat of an ass, but I think Solomon’s questions were basically pretty shallow and encouraged his asinine answers and the two sort of fed off each other.
Edward and #23 bringing comments with more depth than "I like / don’t like this." Nice.
And cut digitalbruin some slack. Obviously he/she is/was paying out-of-state tuition for each quarter spent at UCLA. No waste of our tax dollars there.
Walker Tower PH's $50M+ Sale Set To Break Downtown Record
@Robert Edward Keilitz: You could buy a very big building for $50 million, sell off most of it as condos to people who don’t know what square footage should actually cost, and keep a couple of the top floors for yourself, and still walk away cash positive. I hope one day to do this…
Studio City Red Line Station! Metro Renames 3 Subway Stops
Hong Kong subway stations are named after the neighborhoods and significant landmarks… not cross streets, insignificant landmarks, and people.
That’s the only reasonable and logical way to do it. When you get off at Prince Edward Station or Sha Tin Station, you know exactly where you are because those are the neighborhoods’ names.
WeHo Hoping WPA-Era Plummer Park Building Doesn't Get National Register Landmarking
well, then it’s near time, like the renaming of the recently demolished Edward H. Fickett-designed West Hollywood Library as the John Heilman Memorial Library, to rename the Great Hall as the John Heilman Memorial Great Hall/Long Hall of Plummer Park. It’s the least we could do for you, John.
Google+: Figuring Out Kendall Square's New Apartment Tower
From the about section of the Boston Properties website:
The Company was founded in 1970 by Mortimer B. Zuckerman and Edward H. Linde in Boston, where it maintains its headquarters. Boston Properties became a public company in June 1997.
What the 1920s Critics Said About 3 of LA's Most Famous Hotels
@ncrpz2: The Cecil, the Rosslyn and the Kind Edward were never considered great hotels. They had small rooms and often shared bathrooms. They were considered middle class tourist hotels even when they were brand new despite what the paid for ad in the LA Times says about the Cecil.
