How is a lesser building “far superior” to what was torn down?

This week none of the in-ground lights are working. The lighting on the way finding podiums are also flickering
Thank you. That’s rather sad to hear. Did someone forget the “No Power washers!”
ban for that area? What a cluster…

The area has been turned into an OCD nightmare.
Might as well have kept the off center Stargate in the lagoon to finish the effect.

Have you seen it?
So you want pictures of the backside of a Communicore building for comparison?
Nah, I have some.
I simply answered the question that avoided my question.
Reported for contraband!!!

You’re right all the ground around it was terribly landscaped and I wasn’t even a fan of the flower beds that they had around it, what they have now and this would be fantastic. It wasn’t even the shows it was the waterfall itself, the sound and even the air that was produced by that flowing water is the only thing that saved that area and a cascading water feature like this would make that nature setting there going for now all the better. That would really make this better is if they had the guardrails right on the ends of the bottom pool closing in the flower beds around it. Sitting in greenery and feeling the output of that waterfall would be incredible.

And am I still mad for them tearing out the Fountain of Nations and NOT REPLACING IT! But I guess Moana is suppose to be the replacement!? HA! Far from it!

I would rather have the concrete and the FoN back than what they built!
As far as the Festival building...they could have torn down the one section where Moana is and renovated the other side where the Festival Building is now! And why are they calling it a Festival building when there is no spaces for a Festival...just a stage, test kitchens and a Meet 'n Greet!!?? I guess they are saying that the test kitchens make it a festival building?

If you don't already, give Rohde a follow on Instagram and study his posts. His understanding of the confluence between physical design, human experience, and thematic nuance is staggering, and his ability to educate others in a simple but meaningful way is incredible.
A fun aside.
In 2019, we used a song from Rivers of Light in our primary show for the marching band I work with. I reached out to Joe on a whim to discuss some of the visual concepts we were working on, and he replied thoughtfully and helpfully a few times throughout the process. An unreal experience to gain a personalized peek into his design mind!

What was that again?
One is deserving, one I don't know, and the other three are so far from deserving of praise it's not even funny.

With soaring home prices and cost-of-living at an all time high, it's so nice you've given Joe a place to live rent-free!
