As an aside, I enjoyed your use of the term mish-mash. Over the past few months some of us here in Carmel have taken to referring to this apparition as "The Mish-Mash Building."Mike Habeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03102924618804388880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2842483528656738212.post-86192662924107257302010-04-10T08:14:11.157-07:002010-04-10T08:14:11.157-07:00Good comment, Robby.

It would be great if the aesthetic was more modern, but I think changing the way of life is more progressive than changing the appearance of the buildings.Robby Slaughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10699269507844868795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2842483528656738212.post-91307702633903476592010-04-08T11:29:22.543-07:002010-04-08T11:29:22.543-07:00I have kept my opinion of the fountain mostly to m...I have kept my opinion of the fountain mostly to myself until now.

The performing arts center is in this regard a Carmel capstone: Disney does a city block. Need more? Go to Villages at West Clay to see Disney does a residential neighborhood. It's called new urbanism, which means city-like, but without "those people."Richard Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02355421951305293429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2842483528656738212.post-2831028308163634972010-04-07T06:31:01.996-07:002010-04-07T06:31:01.996-07:00Yes, it has a bit of a Las Vegas essence.

Palladian designs (ala the Carmel Performing Arts Center) should be revered in their period and place, not redrawn to fit into a space in Central Indiana.A Year at the Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17836965128291916468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2842483528656738212.post-83509516163842922032010-04-07T05:57:18.462-07:002010-04-07T05:57:18.462-07:00Looks like something Las Vegas would put up.
