The Miller Building on Superior is really disappointing. The X bracing does nothing structural. It's ornament and the way it meets the ground is really clumsy. It's very Dwell magaziney.
The building by Lorcan next to the Schindler House looks very interesting.
good apartment/condominium buildings
Are there any? I'm trying to understand how builder/developer-thinking can reconcile with architectural-thinking.

um, knowing david, i'm pretty sure the cross-braced structural frame isn't ornamental.
i will agree the grounding isn't elegant. but m|h doesn't really do elegant...
a great big steel frame with glass infill and no solid areas: i don't think that x bracing is for show. wouldn't it be for shear?
holz.box, thanks for the mention of MIMOA, what a great tool.
Holz gave some good examples. Loracan O'herlihy has a lot of good examples.
Jeanie Gang's Aqua tower is a beautiful Highrise Condo tower.
If you are interested in Developer thinking, Research more Jonathan Segal (San Diego) and Chad Oppenheim (Miami).
SW,
i believe so...
It's just no huge k-bracing members like on their 1310 e union project.
my apartment building by erdy mchenry...
Holz- did you just mine Weber Thompson's website for bad examples? :)
ha! kinda. there is a driscoll project there as well.
but nice catch - did you work there?!?
anyway, i think it's a good thing not to do - the developer driven mentality - max out footage and make it cheap. they're pros in that realm.
F*ck no!

alki, huh? that's a little far from downtown.
@ your place of employment, not weber thompson
I'd say anything by [url=David Baker[/url], he seems to get a clue about scale, especially the SOMA projects.
Howard/SOMA studios
SOMA residences
