After a failed attempt at a retro styled Amtrak Station, Milwaukee's Eppstein Uhen rips a page from Daniel Libeskind (sort of) and kicks out something to at least discuss.
Much better than the original concept that was proposed, but I wonder how well the design will age. That being said, it's much better than the slew of post-modern Faux Flemish Renaissance buildings that popped up in Milwaukee's skyline over the past decade.
We're setting the bar pretty low on this one. Where's the poetry. Where's the grandeur. It looks like a goddamn parking garage. Sure it doesn't look like some crappy italianate or fake old timey station house, but seriously it looks like it could be easily converted into a super market if this whole "rail transport" thing doesn't work out.
