It had office space above and a video store below - due to grade and retaining walls, both floors were accessible from the outside.<BR/><BR/>It wasn't a terribly remarkable building - and hence kind of an unintentional lesson for us on the difference between academia and the profession. Blizard was one of the most passion-filled, design-ambitious professors I saw there, and he was unable to reflect that in this commission. Lots of professors had designed their own houses, though, and they were all very interesting. So it was more a lesson about clients than anything else.<BR/><BR/>Prices Fork!

The new stuff includes a mixed-use building on Main, near the city library, a number of remodeled shops, new dorms, bio-med center, physics building. Tons of new apartments north of town. The new stuff on main is mostly 2 story commercial. Nothing remarkable, just ... more than before.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10049594094112659236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18059304.post-1145287059793093182006-04-17T11:17:00.000-04:002006-04-17T11:17:00.000-04:00*gasp*You hid the eggs?

A couple of new downtown buildings were built while I was there, including one by one of my professors that we made merciless fun of him for - it had one element that was exactly the type of thing that he would knock down in our work. We never let him hear the end of that one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
