Chris took the words right out of my mouth as I read this morning's paper: "Skyway to nowhere." Leave it to our great city to put a skyway over a road where one isn't even needed. I sure hope the City doesn't give them the right to do so. Beyond that, this is probably the most disappointing design I've seen from this architect. Looks to me like kind of a postmodern cubist mix that pretty much misses the human component let alone engaging the river except for the voyeur in us. We finally have a chance to restore some beauty to the river and engage it in a meaningful way about the people of our great city and all we get are boxes with metal logs, a combination of warehouse and flour mill stripped of detail, and a skyway to nowhere that looks like somebody demolished the building on the other side of the street. And that would all be o.k., if the building at least stretched the imagination and the experience of theater going or more specifically: theater going in Minneapolis on the Mississippi River - which frankly it doesn't. I say, Act II needs to eliminate the outcome of Act I. The people of Minneapolis deserve better.
