The sign in the photo speaks volumes about the design of the building.

And Midwinter attendees' reports have been interesting. So . . . we have a building for which a city street must be closed to wash the windows, a building with structural members in the children's area that have had to be marked off with yellow police tape because kids kept bonking their heads on them, a building that needs $49,000 worth of (apparently rather complicated) signage, a building with a large hole intentionally bashed into the wallboard to accommodate floating heads

and a building whose floors and stairs have already proven to be a tripping hazard . . .

For this someone was paid a multimillion-dollar architect's fee?
