i love queen city sqaure. the aegon tower is unique because of its dome.... which, ironically, the queen city square will have too.....i don't know if it will light up though.

and Queen City Square just seemed like another regular skyscraper to me, i don't know what the big deal about that was. it would have been great for the skyline

Futuristic? I don't know if i'd say that, its 2006, what does futuristic mean these day? Louisville is known for unique buildings. Everyone called the humana building ugly, but when it was finished it is known as one of the most amazing buildings in the nation. there still isn't anything quite like it.

But i wouldn't say pittsburgh is in the ohio valley..but if so, my mistake....second tallest by 3 floors :)

and people don't seem to understand the Louisville is not a east -west skyline. The view from across the river is confusing because you can't see the rest of the skyscrapers behind the aegon tower and others. Louisville has a north south skyline. So you can image the depth the Museum Plaza will add in the angle above.

the gaps will get filled....thats a given...When the Humana building (which many people also called ugly) was built there was a gap, and it was replaced by the national City tower When the national city tower was built there was a gap, it was filled by the Aegon tower... i'm confident other towers will be built between the Museum Plaza and the other skyline cluster.

I think it will be amazing too.

well i just thought a 61 story skyscraper was pretty big news for the ohio valley. Nothing this big has went up in this region in a while.

well. i think its great for the ohio valley. Louisville will have the tallest in the Ohio Valley. who would have thought?

the video tells it all http://www.museumplaza.net/video_wmv.html

well, i think the firm is bigger than the united states..they have a building in China...so taking Ohio off the list wouldn't do them much harm.... :roll:

the cctv headquarters in China

the oma has some pretty cool projects under its belt seattle public library

well they said "There'll be a farmers market, there'll be coffee shops, there'll be restaurants. So really, we're trying to create a new community center where art, people and commerce all interact," says development team member Craig Greenburg..

its foam lol....its going to look like foam.

why would the plaza be empty and sunless?

the visual aspect of it is one thing, but how many skyscrapers can say they have a public park on the 20th level? it will be a great observatory deck for the city too.

I think when its complete, and people see it up close and personal, with all the features it will have. it will be amazing. there is really nothing like it on the Ohio. 1,200 capacity underground parking garage? 22-story diagonal glass elevator ? this is un-heard of.

You would defiently hear it from me, I hate this tower. I love the City of Louisville and am happy to see it healty enought for such a developement. You are not serious.... if you woke up in the morning and saw this in the enquirer to be built right on the river next to paul brown or the Carew you would tell Cincinnati to reject the tower? Give me a break lol please, any city would take a 61 story tower. the design isn't that bad either. stop exagerating. its great for the Ohio Valley. Not all skyscrapers need to look like everyother skyscraper.

lol, the Museum Plaza will be better for the skyline. And i doubt it will keep others from building 20-30 stories to fill in the gaps. Louisville is also getting an Arena down on the waterfront that will also have a 20 story tower attatched to it.

probably, probably not...i definatly wouldn't though.

well Louisville just completed two 20 + story towers, one on jefferson street (i think thats where their new marriot is) and the other on waterfront park. This museum plaza will be the most unique by far. I beleive it will be the tallest tower completed by OMA

really? wow....
