There’s something so unnecessary - or unspecial about this therme group attraction. It has no cultural value, and it doesn’t seem particularly interesting or fun. To use such an important location for this is a huge mistake and it feels like selling out.

Can anyone who was at the meeting fill us in?

Can anyone who was at the meeting fill us in? In this video, the architect starts talking about the building at around 9 minutes and 15 seconds. It doesn't sound like the developer was ever interested in an innovative design, and the original design was just a bait and switch.

In one of the planning documents they thank the designer Thomas Heatherwicks studio. Could he have been involved with some of the conceptual architectural ideas? He has worked with Bjarke Ingles in designing other google projects. "Sidewalk would like to acknowledge the contributions of Beyer...

Was anyone on here present at this DRP meeting and able to give us some details on the project?

Can we expect high quality architecture despite it not being designed by a "starchitect"?
