It is the culture of architecture and its lack of importance among a few controlling developers that is a major cause of boring, conservative architecture. But, architecture in DC is slowly taking on more bold characteristics now. Stay tuned.... <BR/><BR/>Take a look at Paris. It has a stringent height limit like DC, but architecture there is quite amazing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-55121174649462442212007-03-23T14:29:00.000-04:002007-03-23T14:29:00.000-04:00Chris, no other city has 130' height limits for bu...Chris, no other city has 130' height limits for buildings.

I wonder how much is being done to mitigate the traffic impact at that intersection.

There are some great architectural examples all across our country and the rest of the world but somehow we in DC just settle for mediocre and think it is somehow top-quality. But who cares? I care! Does it really cost that much more to a development firm for a more inspired and original piece of architecture. There are a few recent examples of good architecture in DC, but it seems that we don't experiment enough here. I would like to hear what others have to say about it.<BR/><BR/>But, anyway..... I am glad to see this development take place. It is an improvement. It is good that MRP is incorporating housing, hotel, and office space in one development.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-7819955861570733222007-03-01T22:37:00.000-05:002007-03-01T22:37:00.000-05:00I wonder how this will change NY avenue ... you ha...I wonder how this will change NY avenue ... you have this, and the Jim Abdo project to the east ... will NY avenue become one long developed road, or will it be "mini" pockets of small town centers?
