anyone know any news on the potential fate of the old one?
the old one is cool. hope they find a use for it. i am totally unconvinced by this rendering. surprised they couldn't find even a slightly sexier point of view.
Yeah, not really impressed by this render.
hopefully more views will get out.
It's Berkeley. Impressive rendering counts against you.
Yeah, perhaps they're keeping it on the QT to keep the radical NIMBYs at bay.
i'm a big toyo ito fan, but i need to see more.

this is peet's territory. still, there's not only a starbuck's across the street, there are many more within walking distance.
