Why is it that Wayne State, when given a perfect opportunity to build something
beautiful, lasting, somewhat blending with it's surroundings, building....in a very
visible important spot.....builds such an UGLY, looking like it was meant for lower-
class housing, bottom of the architecture graduate class...building...right across
from Main Wayne, on THE main street going through campus.
That whole corner/block had so much potential, as the new, 21st century entrance
to Wayne University. That whole block, including and especially the corner at
Woodward and Warren, could have been, and should have been, a beautiful
new, tall multi-use building with an entrance green mall, shiny new skyscraper,
with built-in parking, ground floor retail space [[encompassing existing businesses
on Warren@Cass)...yes, lot's of housing, but offices as well, maybe even a few classrooms, but....NO. They instead opted to build a 'BUTT-UGLY' housing unit,
fit only for third world ghettos. Don't you think all the foreign students [[because
let's face it, that's who it's for, correct)...don't you think they'd rather come over to housing just a little different than what they're used to at home. We're supposed
to be a land of opportunity, not multi-level cram style housing. We have plenty of
space in Detroit, why not at least PRETEND we realize it.
Who exactly is on their planning board anyway, lower class graduates, with
non-existent vision.
