CITY VIEWS: Geometric Pattern in City Buildings II

Scripps Center - Downtown Cincinnati, OH. This image was taken from the corner of the building, which, in my opinion, has more visual interest. From this perspective, it almost looks like two buildings, one glass and the other masonry. This angle and close framing accentuates the contrasting visual between glass and masonry. I think the ninety-degree angle at the corner breaks up the straight linear pattern of the windows adding depth. My idea was to give the viewer access to an aspect of the building that is different than the primary visual at street level.Scripps Center is a Class A 35-story office building that opened in 1990. Developed by Cincinnati real estate and philanthropic icon Manuel D. Mayerson, Scripps Center is the first premiere Class A office building on the Cincinnati riverfront, defining the city’s skyline. At the height of 468.01 feet (142.65 m), with 35 stories, it is the fourth tallest building in the city.The building was designed by Houston architects Hoover & Furr; Glaser & Associates was architect of record. Space Design International was also involved with the building's design.The headquarters of the E. W. Scripps Company is located in the Scripps Center.
