Have you seen the Austin City Hall? It is described as "a unique landmark...", "...informality, friendliness, environmental sensitivity and innovative technology". I think it is a cool addition to downtown Austin wonder but wonder what the purpose is of the sharp angles on the north side. Is that good fung shui?
With all the grief the city of Austin gives to applicants for building permits AND all the rejections from numerous neighborhood communities / HOA's to new residential projects how did the City Hall get passed? I find parts of the City Hall's architecture so odd. If the city hypothetically passed this project I doubt the historic commission HOA would go for it.
Take a look, this city hall looks nothing like the structures around it built in 1880-1920.
