Slog - Comments on Fragrant Seattle http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/09/fragrant_seattle Under construction on 5th Ave: What does it recall? More looking into this will be done in a time that is very near to now.... Copyright 2008 Tue, 16 Sep 2008 11:03:17 -0800 Tue, 16 Sep 2008 17:37:19 -0800 http://www.movabletype.org/?v=3.34 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss Comment by downtown This is going to be an unusually cool building for our much (and rightly) maligned downtown skyline.

In fact, we have one of the most celebrated skylines.

This building has potential to be amazing though.

Facets are the new small-radius rounded corners, in all 3-D design (architecture and industrial). You heard it hear first... Or somewhere else first.

We really do have a "dated" look to most of our buildings. I believe they are starting to build this next spring.

This isn't modern or refreshing, it's imitative. And, not to sound like a broken record or anything, but neither of those photos says anything about how the building works.

They're not even slated to get the retaining walls in before the beginning of next year.

A good kind of weird, though.
