  • Has anyone been to the City of Lansing's Website lately? They've revamped the entire thing. It looks nice and professional business-like. I especially like the "Lansing - Where Michigan Works!" banner area on the top. They have a page dedicated …
  • well, i still hate chemistry, but the building addition doesn't look bad.
  • The more I look at the 5/3 sign the more it reminds me of CATA’s logo. Perhaps it was intended to be a subliminal message for mass transit. just a thought...
  • Great pictures! Thanks for posting them. I agree with your comment on the 5/3 sign looking tacky... It looks like it is out of place and was simply an afterthought. Other than that its looking good!
  • Right after I graduated from the UP program in 2006 I was told they had cancelled this project and the School was supposed to be moving into the Human Ecology building. There was some concern on the part of planning students because it was rumored …
  • Although I was not a fan of the design at first… I am much more tolerant of it now. Looking through the NY Times slide show, I really like the Performing Arts Center for Abu Dhabi that she did (or is doing). Talk about a building that is a work …
  • Lets be realistic here… what they say is “graduate students & young professionals”… what will actually occur will be mostly undergraduate students with some grad students, etc... The developer is playing it smart by focusing on the graduate st…
  • wow.. I'm really not liking the parking structure from Concept 1. It looks like the wall was used for target practice. yuck!
  • not really a fan... I hope as the design moves forward it will improve.
  • I went through downtown yesterday and was suprised at how much I liked the building with the stack gone... i had mixed feelings since it was a skyline icon, but without it on there the eye tends to focus more on the actual structure. As funny as it…
  • I took some photos when i was up in Lansing over the Thanksgiving holiday,but i haven't got around to posting... what website would you recommend that I upload then to that works best for this site?
  • I thought that they had actually taken the pictures early this spring based on the new growth on some of the trees. Either way its nice to finally have the bird's eye for the lansing area.
  • Microsoft Virtual Earth - Live Search Maps Well it appears that Microsoft finally added the "Bird's Eye" view for the Lansing Area to the Microsoft Virtual Earth Live Search Maps. We use these maps down here in Houston... they're pretty cool. …
  • LMich, I completely agree with you on the location. It just makes sense to keep the state offices in the area that was created for that purpose. I was being semi-sarcastic with my comment. Having worked there it always seemed like you needed to ro…
  • yeah.. yeah... i know, I know... but i can see lansing kickin' itself in the near future that they let this development go forward... such is life i guess. (PS- having worked in the capital complex, probably the last thing that side of town nee…
  • I really do wish they would stop this project already... its the wrong project for that location! The state has plenty of land west of the capital. Its a sharp looking building (for government), but build it over near the hall of justice. The si…
  • Speaking of Motor Wheel Lofts... WOW, I had completely forgotten about that development since I left. The model they have up on their website looks incredible… something that certainly wouldn’t make you think of Lansing, Michigan; more like a big c…
  • Sweet it worked! Ah, the little things in life... Anyhow, the above picture is Miller Outdoor Theater in Houston, TX (naturally...) They have covered seating which is usually reserved (at a price) & hillside seating that is not reserved a…
  • Now let me see if i am smart enough to add a picture... If I am then I'll let you know what it is.
  • I don't know if I would want to see the band shell design in that part of the park. When I think of a appropriate setting for a band shell I think of areas more like the current sun bowl area on the east side of the river, near the City Market, or…
