@Paclo for the Db stuff.

Comments: Don't have time for the details just now, so just on aesthetics. I'm not taken, and the design reminds me more of KirKor than TF.

Interesting how long it's taken for anything substantial to be proposed south of Ponytz

Whenever they do an artist rending of one of these sterile colorless buildings, the artist (or the guy at the architectural firm that does the artist renderings) has a much better feel for aesthetics than the architect that designed the black/white/grey building, that's why the (suspiciously high number of) trees are almost always green (even though that's not the case for half the year in this city), and that's why so many of the lights are on inside of the building even though the visual is clearly supposed to represent the building during the day (when those lights wouldn't be on), to allow the artist to use some warm green and yellow tones (yellow via the turned on lights inside the building) to offset the colorless sterility of the actual design. I wish more of these artists, who seem to have a feel for aesthetics, would pursue architecture/design work, and displace some of the people that actualy end up designing the buildings in this city (I'm clearly being overly cynical/negative for effect, but it is frustrating that between the developers/architects in this city, so few seem to think that it would be good to place some color on these buildings to offset the sterility of our 5 month winters)
