The Rouse Building – Columbia, MD
Giada De Laurentiis from the Food Network tells me that when I have some friends stop over I should just throw together some Rigatoni with Swiss Chard, because after all… swiss chard is a staple item that I should just have on hand. Being honest here…. I didn’t even know what Swiss Chard was until I Googled it, but I knew if I needed some in an entertainment emergency, I could easily get some at the Whole Foods Market in Columbia.
Columbia residents seem pleased to have a Whole Foods Store right there at the lake front. I’m certainly glad to have the building occupied and thriving rather than sitting vacant, but I think it sort of diminishes the panache the building had when it was built in 1969 as the corporate headquarters of James Rouse’s development company. The building was designed by world renowned architect Frank Gehry … I did know who he was without Googling.
The iconic building Rouse building was known for its innovative, modern design and architecture, which included white stucco, large windows and an open atrium with a series of terraces. After Rouse’s death, the building was owned by GGP Properties, and later the Howard Hughes Corporation. They have recently sold it to help with the financing of the renovation of the Merriweather Post Pavilion property and surrounding area.
