I love it. Reminds me of the Renaissance Center in Detroit. Very 70's spacious and modern and comfortable.

Thank you for sharing this hotel. It was a nice hotel I use to come to back in the late 1990s.😊

It's a cool place to just chill

If you ever come to Boston look at the Josep Luis Sert buildings, like the BU law building. Even the Hyatt hotel on the riverside of Cambridge (not by him) is aging but very unique inside.

I think that opening photo is the best known because it has an architectural sensibility while the rest of the views have a hotel aesthetic-sensibility which makes it feel a bit normalised.

This is exactly what architecture looks like in dystopian movies.

This building was ugly when new and is still ugly now. It has never been a Hub of Los Angeles activity as suggested. It really has no feeling of permanence, lasting only until the next big earthquake. It has always been considered to look like a large expresso machine.

You could perhaps be a little more constructive with your criticisms? I don’t have much to go off here

@@LouisKahnFilesYou explained it perfectly. This video and the narration are great. I’d be able to watch these back to back.

Portman’s designs are anti-urban, and even racist, concealing their interiors behind literal bulwarks, accessible by automobile only. The atriums are inhuman in scale and have become suicide magnets.
