Some people panned it because it somewhat resembled a corncob. What happened to it? I would prefer it to some mangled roller coaster (although it would not be a gateway per se).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19444064.post-7202249257620709322007-04-09T22:37:00.000-04:002007-04-09T22:37:00.000-04:00personally, I think it would be rad if we could ge...personally, I think it would be rad if we could get that clarian peoplemover to bust a loop as the unistrut rollercoaster frame suggests...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19444064.post-35323199878894739272007-01-29T00:05:00.000-05:002007-01-29T00:05:00.000-05:00Why not define the city as one that embraces reusi...Why not define the city as one that embraces reusing old products to design awesome (functionless) gateways? I say the best philosophy for this century is reuse EVERYTHING. No more trash, conserve everything! LoTek designs silly little functionless decorative stuff, too, Christopher. The aesthetic of reuse is also what they're about. Consciousness of consumption!!

How can we make use of the excess provided by this industrial age and turn it into something useful, responsible, functional.<br /><br />A gateway by definition can ignore function, and need not be restricted to any material or medium. It exists simply as a symbol of distinction and as such, the design and relation to the environment must be treated with the utmost importance.<br /><br />As much as I subscribe to many of Lot/Ek's philosophies, I'm certainly not suggesting they would be the right choice in creating a landmark that could potentially define this city in the coming decades.ChristopherWestPresentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01989130989669223903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19444064.post-694775958393735902007-01-25T21:15:00.000-05:002007-01-25T21:15:00.000-05:00God, wouldn't it be great if LoTek could design ou...God, wouldn't it be great if LoTek could design our arch? It could be made out of used aircraft carriers and milk jugs. That would be so awesome. But no, we get cutting edge glass and steel architecture! Glass and steel? What a novel idea Indianapolis!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
