I get your point but remember this was just a massing drawing for a neighborhood meeting. They dont have to deal with hdlc so while I agree with you on the quality of the renderings this isnt really a final product just something to show height and scale.But yes that has to be some of the worst 3d rendering Ive ever seen. Save for the pool its horribly done.
BTW someone who rented at the Paramount said they have 7 units left. Thats a pretty impressive rate for a building with that many units.

Adopted CEAs for the Mirabeau Water Garden and the Broadmoor Drainage Project
The Council adopted Ordinance Calendar No. 30,751, authored by Councilmember Brossett, authorizing the Mayor to enter into a Cooperative Endeavor Agreement (CEA) between the City of New Orleans and the State of Louisiana to facilitate Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funding for preliminary engineering for the Mirabeau Garden Storm Water Management Project in District "D".
City and State officials are partnering to create the 25-acre Mirabeau water retention park at the former site of the Sisters of St. Joseph Convent. The Sisters of St. Joseph Convent is providing a long-term lease agreement with the City to facilitate the project. The garden will include water retention features such as ponds, pumps, and simulated marshlands. It will also include parklands, a swimming pool, and athletic fields. The Mirabeau Water Garden is a demonstration project that could serve as a model for other large vacant spaces throughout the City if successful.
District "D" Councilmember Brossett said, "The Mirabeau Garden will help solve multiple problems with one project. It finds a use for a vacant property, lessens flood risks, and provides recreational opportunities. It is exciting to see new and innovative projects being completed in District 'D'."
In related business, the Council adopted Ordinance Calendar No. 30,750, authored by Councilmember Cantrell, authorizing the Mayor to enter into a Cooperative Endeavor Agreement (CEA) between the City of New Orleans and the State of Louisiana to begin preliminary engineering work for the Broadmoor Drainage Project. Preliminary engineering for the project is to be completed on or before July 15, 2015.
District "B" Councilmember Cantrell said, "The passage of this ordinance clears the way to begin improvements to the drainage issues we see in the Broadmoor neighborhood. It is important that we continue to work to protect our neighborhoods."
