Now this is just based on seeing the information and pictures in the STrib but:
I tend to like the proposal for the Guthrie. (I also think the Weisman is a great addition to a rather boring campus. An "industrial" looking building does not have to look industrial. I think this one works. It seems to work just like the Duluth Aquarium--the Aquarium fits great into the working waterfront of Duluth--bright colored metal siding, visible structure. The overlook could be great. I do have some concerns: The shops/parking building needs to be not just a typical concrete structure--it needs some of the "attitude" of the Theater building. I'm concerned about the cost of the overlook--that is not going to be a low cost addition to the building. I just hope it doesn't cause cost cutting on the theaters and back-stage areas. _______________________________________ Minneapolis Issues Forum - A Civil City Civic Discussion - Mn E-Democracy Post messages to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscribe, Unsubscribe, Digest option, and more: http://e-democracy.org/mpls
