Hopefully, this will encourage more blunt-ugly buildings to shed their skins for a better look!

@archited In a lot of cases it can be economical as well as aesthetic; many of these old building envelopes are very energy-inefficient compared to what exists today. As businesses move and consolidate into newer buildings, I expect we'll see many more older buildings like this go through similar transformations not only to help attract new tenants, but also because the vacancies provide opportunities to do large-scale upgrades such as this. Still hoping to see some also go through conversion to residential uses at the same time.

I hope that the form-defining tracer lights are still in the works.

Drove by on my way to Bua Thai (so freaking good) on Saturday, this re-imagined tower looks fantastic.

Tiered patio going in at the Central Social Hall.
How's the usual stink by the tiered patio?
@westcoastjos I didn't notice any.
Well, that is a good sign. That bit of the street has always stunk. Maybe they got rid of it on that side of the street. I always notice it in front of the Starbucks across the way and used to right in front of the patio here.
