Hi all,
I thought I would do a change of pace and post some pictures instead. I feel bad not posting anything for over three months. I will post the MAVA Community Analysis report in its entirety upon completion.
And now the pictures: The top two are of Millenium Park in Chicago. The Frank Gehry designed park is really a masterpiece of New Urbanism. New Urbanism is all about reclaiming unused or unappreciated space in an urban environment. This is urban renewal, but generally conservation minded.
The next two are more classic Chicago. The Art Institute's Lions are virtual civic icons. Meanwhile this church looks suspiciously like the Roman themed Medieval Church in Valencia, Spain. Chicago is an architectual treasure, and has done an excellent job blending the old and the new.
This last picture is of the Tripoli National Shrine in Milwaukee. Not sure exactly why the arhictect choose the Middle Eastern Influenced design, but it works. One of the signatures buildings in Milwaukee's South Side.
