There's definitely some common themes running through all of those sunken water feature plazas. There is something very welcoming about the way they sink gradually into the ground.

It gets fish over the 6th Street Dam:

I believe the tallest building in the state to use concrete as it's facade treatment is the McNamara Federal Building in Detroit:

It's a real monster, which I think was the point. I still have very mixed feelings about concrete as a defining architectural characteristic of a structure. I guess it can be really impressive, but when it misses, it misses bigly.

Concrete is durable material in construction, the buildings built of concrete will certainly have a longevity
