Upscaling and renovation of the Central Railway Station. Utrecht.
---------------------------------------------
Utrecht CS is drie keer zo groot geworden.

This is the side of an old wagon that is at the entrance of one of the more "upscale" neighboring neighborhoods by my house. I feel this captures the assignment at hand perfectly as it is a deteriorating old wagon and the metal bracket draws the eye immediately being at the "rule of thirds" location. I've always seen this raggedy old wagon sitting there for the past 3 years but never stopped to take a photo of it!
[To concentrate more fully on the frames and its edges, we are going to take on an assignment developed by Graham Revell at Cavendish College, London, and Betsy Scheider of Arizona State University which sets aside the usual subject matter and instead concentrates on detritus, front deterere "wear away," is any matter produced by erosion, such as gravel, sand, silt, or rock. It also refers to debris or waste of any kind; rubbish, litter, scrap, flotsam and jetsam, rubble; remains, remnants fragments, scraps, dregs, leavings, sweepings, dross, scum, trash, and garbage; plus organic matter produced by the decomposition of organisms. Build an image using the principle of the Golden Mean. (rule of thirds)]
Use of the reared up lion and shield to suggest royalty, the thin detailed curves of the type suggest a higher price.
It would have been neat to see him hanging out in the lobby here, or on the back porch, smoking his pipe in the designated smoking area. I wonder if he can smoke anywhere he wants in Heaven?
These Norman Revival-style houses, built in 1929-30, are located in the Forest Hill Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986, and are the remnants of a failed upscale housing development that fell through due to the Great Depression. This area was originally home to the Forest Hill Estate, the site of the Rockefeller Family's summer home. It was intended to become a large, upscale, Norman-style development known as Forest Hill; however, it instead saw only a small number of buildings constructed to the original plan. Designed by Andrew J. Thomas, only the Heights Rockefeller Building, the street grid, and 81 Norman-style houses of the planned 500+ houses, an inn, apartments, and other commercial structures were built, leaving the area rather sparsely populated throughout its early years. The land intended to become the development's country club, over 200 acres west of Lee Road and straddling the border with East Cleveland, were donated by John Rockefeller, Jr. in 1939, becoming Forest Hill Park, owned by the City of Cleveland Heights. In 1948, the undeveloped lots were sold to George A. Roose, who developed the area as a more typical suburb, abandoning the aesthetic direction of the original plan, and constructing a series of more modest and less ornate houses on the lots. Today, the Heights Rockefeller Building and the remaining original houses, as well as the street grid, are the legacy of a big dream that, unfortunately, did not pan out due to the Great Depression.
