Othmar Ammann's original design for the George Washington Bridge had stone cladding. But they stopped short of adding that, since the bridge looked and worked fine without it. Pop isn't in this shot from the great H. A. Dunne Archive, but he is in others we'll visit later.
I strolled from our hotel by Highway 99 to a bridge over a railroad yard and took a picture of the Fresno skyline in golden light. Fresno was something of a puzzle to me. I'd heard of Fresno, as it's one of those nowhere places people talk about when they want to emphasize just how nowhere a place can be. I always mentally equated Fresno with Owensboro, the small city of 50,000 where I used to live in Kentucky. And in a lot of ways, Fresno looks a lot like a damaged version of Owensboro, but it turns out that Fresno is huge. The population inside the city limits is 509,000. The Fresno metropolitan area has a population of 1,081,000. This is a city of a million people. This would be the power center of a lot of states, but Fresno has too many other centers of power standing in its way, so it becomes California's dumping ground. Fresno is a place where bad things happen.
Admittedly, the framing of this photo leaves out one additional skyline building the approximate size of the tallest structure seen here in the distance. But even so, does this look like the center of a city of a million people?

In the 1980s, USAID funded hundreds of infrastructure projects in El Salvador. These efforts were made possible by the active participation of local community members, including local women who carried rocks to help in the construction of a retention wall for landslide prevention projects.

An office building will soon rise along Main where the old downtown Macy’s was demolished in September 2013. Per the designs below, the building will rise 23-stories and 346 feet.
When it’s built, here’s what the tower could look like.

Dismount from what exactly? Nothing to indicate that there is any infrastructure except that it ends here. Dropped kerb only at one end, no shared/segregated path sign, streetlamp in centre of path, no markings on tarmac. Completely and utterly pointless.

Steel Bridge Songfest ("Steel Bridge" for short) is an annual, four-day music festival held in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. Founded in 2005 by musician Pat MacDonald and his sister, social activist Christie Weber, the event began as part of a grass-roots campaign to restore the historic bridge. The festival features a week-long collaborative songwriting workshop (called The Construction Zone) where participants write songs inspired by the bridge. The songs are recorded on-site at the Holiday Music Motel and released as compilation albums. Proceeds from album sales help fund the preservation effort.
Past performers include Jackson Browne, Jane Wiedlin of the Go-Gos and Pat McDonald of Timbuk3.

'Lectricity for this building.
Added to the building with the customary in-your-face type of attachment. Let's not try and hide it from view. Could we paint the piping to match the building? Not a chance.
Despite a 20 mph posted speed limit, this narrow residential street had ongoing issues with fast cut-through traffic. The City responded with parking-lot-style speed bumps -- much more aggressive than a speed hump engineered for a 20mph design speed. Neighborhood response has been very positive, though the City Council has expressed concern about liability for the nonstandard bumps and noncompliant markings.
I don't actually know what is happening with this redeveloped gasometer.
Initially 210 apartments were built inside this Victorian gasometer in the nine-storey cyclindrical building and most have been vacant since they went on sale a few years ago and failed to sell in sufficient numbers to make the scheme viable.
The developer (Liam Carroll) applied for planning permission to build a four-storey glazed roof “springing” from the first floor level over the internal courtyard to incorporate this space in a hotel. There would be a new three-storey glazed entrance to the hotel.
Fifty two residents of the Gasworks objected , claiming that a 500-plus room hotel is too big in a residential complex and would ruin the quiet and safe atmosphere of the development.
Liam Carroll is a property developer in Ireland whose Zoe Developments group became well-known during the Celtic Tiger years of 1990s and 2000s for residential and commercial property construction projects.
Zoe group companies became unable to repay bank borrowings of a reported €1.3bn and in summer 2009 requested Examinership as protection from creditors, particularly ACCBank who were the first to seek liquidation of some of his companies. Following a series of cases, this was rejected by both the High Court and the Supreme Court of Ireland with the rescue plan described by a judge as bordering, if not trespassing on the fanciful and the appointment of liquidators to group companies was confirmed by the courts on 14th October 2009.
