Re: Six Light
I hope every Cordish building proposed has the same argument...so riveting. Any way someone can start a “bitching about Cordish aesthetics” thread, so people can blabber on about it and keep the actual threads regarding the development of these buildings just that?

Ftr, I have no problem with one or two light. I think they both look great. My only worries are with what they do moving forward.

Re: Six Light
I mean it is sort of part of the development. I think that the design of the buildings is becoming a mute point as nothing can or will be changed (Until 5 and 6).

Re: Six Light
Too late for 3 but there is time to encourage mixing up 4-6. If nothing is said, we'll get more copy/paste monotony. If no one cares, we'll get more of the cookie cutter blandness. For those who do care, need to speak up and don't let up. KCMO tax payers can have a voice given Cordish gets city aid.ldai_phs wrote:I mean it is sort of part of the development.

Re: Six Light
Are all Light towers going to be designed by the same architect Humpheys & Partners? An easy way to change them up is hire a different architect perhaps? Why not use local firms to design?

Re: Six Light
There have been several others here who have pointed out mixing things up. The interior is great. The exterior is passable if one or two, but most may not realize it may be up to 6 of rather plain buildings appearing about the same. I'm OK pressing the issue even if a minority at the moment. Others are starting realize it when pointed out. You can count on me and others pressing on it. Is insulting that you are trying to suppress posting about it. If no one says anything, more of the same will certainly end up being the case. And you apparently don't want anyone challenging you/Cordish. It's worth pressing on it for those who care.

I always figure leasing rates tell the real story.StrangerThings wrote: Are you not understanding you’re in the minority?.... like a very small one. The buildings are overall very popular and have won awards for urban design. You’re constant “copy/paste” and “monotony” bullshit is absolutely insulting to so many people I know who’ve put so much work into these buildings. Take a look around the country, it’s the current style.
If a building design didn't work people wouldn't move into the building.
Curb appeal is the first thing people look at when choosing a place to live. There's at least one TV show that uses curb appeal as a key part of the story, having a big reveal at the end about how they made the home look so much better. When we sold we put more time and money into the outside of the home than the inside. A new kitchen was unimportant, having a back patio that slopes wasn't a big deal, an ugly downstairs bathroom was fine. But painting the front door a nice color, redoing the landscaping, that was super important.

Re: Six Light
Like I said, if others don't care then so be it. If others do care then speak up. Nothing wrong with continuing to discuss.

Re: Six Light
Gotcha. On Wikipedia, they have H&P listed for both One and Two Light.StrangerThings wrote:H&P was used for One Light. Hord, Coplan and Macht for Two Light. Using local firms isn’t out of the question from what I understand. They’ve used several different firms across the country for different projects.KC_JAYHAWK wrote:Are all Light towers going to be designed by the same architect Humpheys & Partners?

Re: Six Light
Jfc ST, calm down. No need for the aggression.
It’s obvious what the solution is. We need to tear down One and Two Light and start from scratch using limestone and sandstone with Art Deco bas reliefs, multi colored windows and then make the towers 50% affordable housing and 50% class A office space with 6 light being a 1500 Room flagship hotel. Alright ST, get on it!

Re: Six Light
Wow okay....Ive been one of the biggest cordish supporters on this site over the years and posted maybe one thing about the glass....so this seems a bit misguided....but carry on.StrangerThings wrote:That's not what I'm trying to say at all, but it's 2018 and everyone takes things out of context.KCPowercat wrote:TIL if you have a minority opinion you should just keep it to yourself....
The glass and drastically changing the exteriors has been discussed and discussed. My bad for trying to actually respond, unlike any other developers on any other topic on this forum.
You're constantly being a dick on here anyway, so I see why you got to get another jab in. Wouldn't be a discussion without your condescending ass!

Re: Six Light
Having someone working at a big developer post publicly about any unfinished project is super rare. There's no Copaken Brooks person posting here.
The detail is always appreciated

Re: Six Light
Gotcha...calling someone a dick and a condescending ass goes beyond being sassy in my book but everybody posting methods are different....
Apology accepted and no worries...always glad to have you and everybody posting on her with different opinions and backgrounds!

That’s cute. You think you’re still anonymous! It’s ok, we’ll let you believe that even though we can see you hacking away on buttons behind the curtain. False anonymity allows us to suppress our brains ability to suppress honest communication that is entertaining and, sometimes, valuable.StrangerThings wrote:We can't have a beer though, once I'm not anonymous, I can no longer comment.
