front row balcony is usually the best in my opinion!

That is a cute dog! What's his name? or her name?

I really love the pictures we see here. I really love the abadoned school buildings! I hope they can be salvaged somehow. Franklinton will hopefully be doing better here soon as the building ban I believe was lifted at the completion of the Franklinton Flood Wall.

Thank You :-D. It's not exactly origional as a lot of postcards look like this.

JohnOSU99 I want your avator! Pleeeeeeze

ya, i never heard of it until i read this post. How many episodes have I missed?

This is kind of cheating but I am going to do it anyway. I don't know how to "print screen" on a mac so I am putting up the picture that is my background. It's from when I visited Riomagiorre, Italy.

Well, interestingly enough, I know that the Petronas Towers that are in Malaysia are all-concrete construction which blows me away. Apparently they have created a suitable concrete that can support the mega structures and still have lower level columns slender enough to be feasible for office space. And I believe that Kuala-Lumpur, Malaysia is seismically active? Also, I believe some concrete is acctually better suited to withstand earthquakes in some regards, if designed properly. Now, in the event of an earthquake, I believe they may become damaged but will not fail and support the building long enough for occupants to safely evacuate and demolished at the liesure of the people. Brewmaster, are you able to take progress pictures? If you could, that would be great!

I believe I was an undergrad when there were riots in Cincinnati and besides that, UC is located in a shady part of town. I've been around the area and I did feal slightly uncomfortable.

Acctually, according to the above link under Component 3A it says there will be a residential tower between 8 to 15 or more stories. I hope it is the "or more" part. I also hope they keep the bridge concept. The only problem with one of the views that they show in the picture, the one from the river with the train trusses, is that they fail to include the North Bank Condominiums currently under construction.

i acctually think it might be 20 stories

what surprises me is the fact that it seems to be all concrete construction. No steal beams.

i think it is cool too

I believe I posted on this topic a while ago, but some things have changed since then. I am a graduate of Ohio University with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Geography: Urban Planning. I became a trator and now attend Miami University and am a Grad student in there Department of Architecture. David, I envy you. I see that you got into DAAP. I was there with my class to see the architect of DAAP give a talk. It was my first time acctually being on the campus ( I had stayed in areas around it). It made me realize how stupid I was for not going there in the first place. They were the very first school to accpept me out of high school. One of my teachers in HS told me that it was too much of a concrete campus and really dangerous so I never even visited. Boy was I an idiot. Oh well. It's a nice campus. Enjoy your time there!

It was way too concrete and too square. Too modern maybe? It was like an American city. I thought it was too open. But really that's all that is wrong. But it is still interesting. I like the whole concept of the modern business district being built outside of the tradtional city of Paris.

La Defense, Paris

Me in the worst part of the best city in the world.

oh wait, now it is. yay

sorry about that first photo, i don't know why it won't cooperate

These are some progress pictures that I took of the site on Friday, October 13, 2006. I think these were taken from Spring Street? The large road/highway that runs along the river. Also, there is a picture of the model that was just inside the Arena.

I really really like it! I mean, it is kind of odd, but I think it is another signature building for columbus! I say build it. :-D

Here's the picture that I took of the demolition when I went home for the October 14th weekend.

It works! Mwe ha ha. <---trying to laugh like a mad scientist here. These were taken with my parents' crappy like camera.

Hello all, these are the pictures that I had taken of downtown Columbus from a couple of years ago. I just realized that I don't have my most recent in this batch but that will have to wait until another time. I just got an account on photo bucket, I hope this works! Let me know what you think.

Here are the photos that I took of the park, I hope they work. Sorry it is sooo small, it wouldn't fit otherwise.
