Today's Dead-Ass Proposal is one of the saddest broken dreams the city has ever seen. The one that people always say, "You know what Dead-Add Proposal you should do?" to me about. Which one is it? Check out the Philaphilia article down at the City Paper's Naked City Blog to find out!

ReplyDeleteI love to see stuff get built, but I think this building was so plain and not in keeping with Philadelphia that I am glad it was never completed. We have the most planned and classy skyline in the world. This thing looked like a big box with a needle on top. I do like the bottom of the building a lot, but it doesn't make up for the fact that this thing would loom over the skyline and - yes - be totally out of scale. I'd rather have two 750 ft buildings than this 1500 ft one. I'd feel differently if the main portion of the building was a little more creative, but alas, it is not.
