We were lucky to be represented by two successive aldermen willing to do the hard work to get it done, a developer with the vision to see our shared interests and an architecture firm with equal measures of talent and sensitivity.srappehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13698728126601494818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-90812173939134440082013-12-31T14:58:36.682-06:002013-12-31T14:58:36.682-06:00Facades reminds me a lot of Libeskind's Ascent...Facades reminds me a lot of Libeskind's Ascent in Covington, KY.

I'll be bummed when/if they commission art/advertising for the west elevation of that core, but for now, we get to bask in the rawness.
