I don't think Detroit is a good fit with Frank Gehry. There is an antiseptic look about his work that doesn't look gritty and industrial. Detroit's architecture shouldn't be overly clean or pretty. Just my opinion. As for the rendering above, I can't focus enough to really see what is showing. I'll wait for standard blueprints.

Not quite that nice. It is crap. I like Frank Gehry for pushing envelopes but this is just weird angles, bad colors, and a straight street.

Zaha is iraqi born and bred. She is the first female to win the prestigious pritzker award for architecture. MSU is very proud to have one of her designs. Originally Posted by Gistok
