this agenda at the Landmark Commission agenda from March 2011 shows what the Public Auditorium facade will look like when complete http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/landmark/agenda/2011/03102011/index.php

I am excited to see Cleveland in the year 2013. The vibrancy of the City's core is sure to excite. I am all for the great lawn in The Flats.

the official website has been updated http://www.flatseast.com/

Here is an image of what /where the different brick colors and type should follow as a reference for the final look

So what has happened to The Cleveland Cuyahoga County Port Authority Lakefront Development plan developed by Ehrenkrantz Eckstut & Kuhn Architects in Sept of 2009? Is this plan now dead? I am getting tired of plans consistently being developed but nothing adopted. I much preferred this plan over the latest dream. All I hope is that sooner rather than later this prime piece of land get's its attention.

there are listings of all their projects. The text is in a light grey and dark grey . the last row bottom left is the Uptown Cleveland in dark grey. Click onit and it will lead you to the details

http://www.saitowitz.com/portfolio.html This link is to the architects website : if you click on the lower left corner of that page you will see Uptown Cleveland listed. Better details of the architectural plans/photos of the construction/and renderings of the completed project. An impressive project. I look forward to its completion

Burnham-2011 Thought you might enjoy this article re: street paving. I think it is pretty amazing and would love to see this used in The United States. Primarily on Public Square. http://www.gizmag.com/tiger-stone-lays-paving-bricks/16951/ The brick-road-laying Tiger Stone

http://www.cleveland.com/medicalmart/index.ssf/2011/03/medical_mart_spending_adds_up.html Medical Mart spending adds up to $35 million, so far This article has some great photos of the medical mart and convention center construction site. The photos were from the press day tour on tuesday ,March 29th. It also lists the contracts awarded so far. I am glad to see the county is being transparent on how the money is being spent.

Thank you Firenze98. Great photographs. Do you have any insight of what the floor will be in the piazza area?

i agree with you regarding The Euclid ave. lamp posts

I am not a fan of the stainless steel triangular columns as art. I hope they are only placeholders for something better. Also the lamp posts along the promenades are under scaled. I for one would love to see a more classic design to this element since the promenades are the remaining classic element from the original Burnham plan for The Malls. Since GGN and LMN Architects have mentioned the idea of incorporating the concept of uniting The Arcade into the plan, why not use the lampposts from that location on to the promenades?

The City of Cleveland Planning Commission has new updated plans and photos from the Jan 21 presentation http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/grouplan/mm.php this second link shows the precast detail of the convention center and medical mart. I do like the details. go to page 2 http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/grouplan/cmmc01212011.php

I came across these spectacular photos today on the atrium construction. I am very excited for this grand space to be completed. http://www.flickr.com/photos/positivelycleveland/5137219262/#in/set-72157625166507921/

http://planning.city.cleveland.oh.us/grouplan/presentations/GPC_Presentation021011.pdf This is the link to the presentation pdf of The Group Plan Commissions recommendations. To do all that they ask is budgeted at around $90 million dollars. I sure hope all this can/could happen and the money could be found. This includes the restructured plan for Public Square. The presentation gives a much clearer picture than what The Plain Dealer has mentioned. I think the biggest shame about all of this is none of this money generated by the quarter cent tax increase imposed by cuyahoga county will be used for what the public's money should have been put towards. At least 10% of the overall budget should have been allocated to the funding of the public art aspects

as an out of towner the photos are always appreciated. thank you

That site on the website, from the planning commission, has been around for a while. I had mentioned it back on page 186 in october. Nothing new on that site ,but it is informative. On the yourchangingcleveland.com website there are more current renderings including the preformed cast concrete patterns for the medical mart facade studies.

Was driving by UH in University Circle and I have included a view of the new parking structure. In a previous thread I had seen the corner unfinished and workers today were completing the skin. In person the campus is looking quite nice.

Great photos. As hard as it is to see the first photographs of abandonment, I see great hope in the ability of these forums to show what exists beyond the postcard images of a city. These images should evoke all of us to help our community thrive. There is some amazing architecture in Cleveland just waiting to be rediscovered and rejuvenated.

Clueless,Ohio Thank You for your tireless effort on sharing your love of Cleveland. Your Great Grandfather would be proud.

Outstanding photo tour! Thank You for sharing. Love the CMA construction. Quick question....Is the corner of the new University Hospital parking structure finished or is there more stainless skin to be applied? It seems unfinished/unresolved.
