lockmat Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 The design shown will not be built, so no. I kinda remember hearing that. Was that confirmed through an article? Or your source told you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbannizer Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I kinda remember hearing that. Was that confirmed through an article? Or your source told you? There was a newer design floating around; I just find it highly unlikely they'll use the design above whenever it gets off the ground.

IronTiger Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 http://www.evolo.us/architecture/urban-infiltration-skyscraper-for-houston/ That kind of reminds me of SimTower. You even have theaters stacked on top of each other, with condos and hotels too. Gosh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollusk Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 What we ended up with there really isn't that far off the Weems proposal... Â Â While the massing is similar, the texture is different... IMHO a little better in the real version, and I'm usually not a concrete grid and blue glass fanboy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston19514 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) That's pretty cool. Anyone know the story on this? Is there a story? Edit: Found some info. The Maritime Museum signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Port of Houston to build a new museum adjacent to the Port of Houston’s Sam Houston Pavilion at the Turning Basin. The Museum was required to raise $1.5 Million by June 2013. The new museum was to have opened in 2014. Obviously, they didn't make that deadline. Anyone know if the concept is dead or if the deadlines have been extended?  Edited April 2, 2015 by Houston19514 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urbannizer Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 This one may be an active project. Â http://www.studiomet.com/project.php?id=35 Â This six-story mixed-use development was designed for a site in Midtown Houston. The design provided for first floor office space and accommodated 35 residences on the upper floors. The vertical circulation core is expressed on the exterior with the exposed metal stair which becomes the focal point of the pedestrian-friendly street facade.
