In this new period of urban renewal, it begs the question, “What is the architecture of our time?”

We believe the guidelines essentially guarantee a false and bland uniformity by describing the restrictions in such detail that all designs will be essentially the same. There's a reason buildings looked the way they did in the 19th century. Aren't there different opportunities in the 21st?  Our cities are living organisms, not period backdrops. New construction should proudly claim our point in history.
