Comments on: First Look at James Corner’s Waterfront “Ring” http://thesunbreak.com/2011/05/23/first-look-at-james-corners-waterfront-ring/ Curious Georges in a conversation with Seattle Wed, 18 Feb 2015 07:17:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=4.1.1 By: Anonymous http://thesunbreak.com/2011/05/23/first-look-at-james-corners-waterfront-ring/#comment-4490 Tue, 24 May 2011 00:07:00 +0000 http://thesunbreak.com/?p=873655#comment-4490 A bit too ‘conceptually intensive’ (tm. I just coined that), but a fine start. The ‘ring’ seems really contrived. Other than that, you go!

And to be fair about the Highline comparison, that’s an iron/steel structure that’s been in place for roughly 80 years, in a non-earthquake zone. It even stayed up when abandoned for the latter half of the 20th century. We’re tearing down the viaduct (yeah!) because we don’t think it will stand by itself for another 20 years, right? Oh yeah, and the viaduct was built on the cheap like everything in Seattle

But mainly, I’m impressed that he’s among the few in this conversation about “uniting the city with the waterfront” to recognize (and capitalize on) the stark elevation changes.
