That top pic just screams "Taubman Mall!"

Thats a great article. I've read books written by Gruen, he was motivated primarilly by improving City Centers. He certainly had some wild ideas and is chiefly responsible for why places like Houston and Fort Worth looked like towers in a sea of parking lots for so long. I've visited all of his works in Michigan as well as the mall he was most proud of in Downtown Rochester, NY. His vision was very interesting.
