I don't think it's nice. Why can't somebody do something with a classic look that will stay in the test? What you want is a place like Severance Hall that will look good 75 years from now. It doesn't need to be Roman architecture with the big columns or anything, just needs to be something that's tasteful that will stand the test of time.

Same with the airport, by the way.

agreed, it doesn’t look very timeless or nice at all. location is cool but that’s about it. will probably have more room i suppose.

Vet's Memorial was state-of-the-art when it was first built, but you know how ugly people thought it was as time passed. That's what's going to happen to this monstrosity.

If it were like Rome, everybody wouldn't snicker when you guys tried to make those kinds of comparisons.

What do you want me to say dude? It sucks. What exactly do you like about it?

It honestly looks like it should be an outdoor complex like Blossom or something. It is a very boring design. Anyone saying they prefer this to a real symphony hall is purely coping. Let's at least try to be objective here cheecher.
