sad..

It is a big loss.
I wrote him a letter once and he was kind enough to write back to me.
I'm not a fan of all his work, but he really was an artist.

This is sad news. May he rest in peace.

^I concur. Thanks for the beautiful photos, TZTag.

The tower itself looks awesome but what's with the blank concrete walls on the townhouses?

metroXpress · #**130** Posted **Jun 2, 2009, 3:46 PM**

^ they look like retail units

Note how the mullions (mullion-free mullions!) line up in the render but don't in the as-built?

Most projects would cover up that bare concrete with some stonework, mind you this being an Erickson maybe they will leave it as is, in tribute.

Took this a couple days ago...thought it was a good angle with a nice ship in front of it:

From June 3rd

Interesting... what are those white bits creeping their way up alongside the porthole windows? A lighting feature would look pretty good there.

Thanks for the pic, awvan!

Big picture, but the Erickson is looking very nice

I like bare concrete in the right circumstances. But it can't be just concrete, there has to be other elements.
