Now They're Starting To Get It

Take a look at that right there. This is a proposed $380M (that's all?!?) skyscraper that will transform the Louisville, KY skyline and take architecture and building design to the next logical level.

Sad that such a forward thinking building has to be in a state infamous for it's backward thinking traditionalists.

Remember SimCity2000? The Arcologies? Arcos were giant buildings that could house and sustain the population of a small city, roughly 50-100K people. Well, this is pretty similar, only in a posh, up-scale, spend-money-here mode of thinking, which is rather lame. But you have to start somewhere when building your way up to self contained metropolis complex.

Hey! New meaning of Metroplex. Anyway, I hope this works out. It's a neat design very similar to the large, black Arcos in SC2K, and is a great way to experiment with the Arco concept on a small scale. Residency isn't at a decent to-Commerce rate yet. (Link -- via Fark)
