Don't let your critics get you down, they are likely sitting at a desk working for "The Man" anyway.

The basic moves seem right--breaking down the scale, addressing the street, and so forth, but the result is lackluster. Nothing 'sings,' nothing is exciting (not even the inverted element at the corner--apparently meant to be exciting but only manages to be awkward and heavy). The only part that even seems confident is the old building with setback glass penthouse. <br /><br />It'll be okay, because Washington's attentions are not focused on design in general or architecture in specific. <br /><br />Another sigh, another lost opportunity...Earnestness unfortunately cannot replace talent. Hard to be optimistic about this one.Skidrowenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-6087794165791707342012-10-09T14:24:04.595-04:002012-10-09T14:24:04.595-04:00"Portland-esque"?
