That sucks. That building would have been great for L.A.
Thanks Blink182 for that picture. I have heard of the project before but could never find a picture of the building.

No, Your mistake.

You need visit some deaf school so before you get know about that. Of course, you should ask Tivo.

Most hearing impaired have low read skill than average, they have problem with grammar expect english. I typed all word into english, sentence can be understand to some people. That is not our fault for life so this is school fault.

Well in my opinion, it would have been nice to have a supertall in LA, but i remember most of the drawings of this project to be, (in my opinion) ugly, the firm for this project was murphy/jahn, and tho i like most of there work, this design was noted for having goudy postmodern attachments all over its facade.

None of your business, I'm VERY tired of someone said deaf people cannot have favorite with music.

This building looks like a cross between the WTC and JP Morgan Chase in Houston.

Not a bad design.

Bleh..it is in DIRE need of ALOT of setbacks. LA doesn't need another box as it's tallest building (Aon Center was it's tallest for awhile.)

It would be cool to have a supertall though. Put it near the US Bank Tower hoever. Keep the tallest in the center.

Why do LA and NYC have need to have a taller building than Chicago? That just sounds immature.

Population doesn't have jack shit to do with skyscrapers in most cases.

This skyscraper would have been great in LA though.

That's a rather homely building IMO, but it would have been imposing as hell. I think it was a little too cheap looking for the attractive LA skyline.

This is not the office tower concept i saw on this project, this looks like a Richard Keating, (SOM) design, this building would have been LA's answer to the AON tower in Chicago, at least 3 million sq.ft. i wonder who would be the prime tenant in this tower.

I disagree with the statement, that LA would never see supertalls, there will be a time when LA reaches, what i call the Sao Paulo syndrome, when the population gets to about, say 3 million in the basin alone, the only way to go is up!
