This gold building is definitely iconic. It really adds a lot of interest to our skyline in downtown Indy and bathes the streets in a golden hue during midday. I wonder if the developer might consider redoing the windows in gold!
I would assume that idea has been explored. However, if it hasn’t, it’s worth a look. Good call, FV.
I feel like the gold looks a bit dated. Maybe that is their angle, not sure.
You could bake an egg in that golden hue. It sucks.
Some might argue, and I’m among them, that the reflected glare from the building makes a chunk of City Market Plaza less hospitable in summer. It’s tough to sit or stand facing north with full sun in your face.
Yay! And please no more reflective (mirror) glass. It’s dangerous.
It’s their building, do with it as they please. Given its a minor modification, I don’t see anyway the MDC cannot approve this. The fact some find this iconic speaks to the lack of an iconic skyline, rather than a truly transformational building.
Indianapolis: The Cutting Edge of Mediocrity. Now, that commitment to mediocrity and blandness will be even more apparent with the loss of one of a handful of downtown buildings that isn’t grey or beige. Why tolerate aesthetic innovation when you can play it safe and dumb things down?
