Where do you work?
-
I've had such a dense day today, it all started with me forgetting my lunch.
The pollution is much better now, thanks to the public realm improvements such as the bull ring
More than meets the eye

Bull Ring? You'll have to explain . . . or is there something I'm missing here?
-
Its a redeveloped market space
Here is the link to the centre's website

Wow, you guys are turning speaking at cross-purposes into an art!
You must admit, to anyone unfamiliar with Birmingham the following sentence sounds very odd in the 21st century.

Toby - I take it you're in favour of the Bull Ring? Why?
You would think that after spending half a billion pounds on the building they would want to show it off. The website should be crammed with wonderful images of what appears to be an interesting modern building smack in the middle of Birmingham's CBD - not so.
That roof [the little you see of it] looks like something Frank Gehry might have designed.
I notice a Landscape Architect designed one of the art works - the glass cubes water sculpture.
Was there much criticism or opposition to its construction? They must have had to knock down a lot of old buildings to make room for it.

howdy yall,
I work for PDI now is called Dream... Animation, shhhh . I'm not supposed to tell. We are located in redwood city. I've worked on several of their movies, and I must say, it has a fantastic working environment, full of very talented people that push you to become even better. I have worked on tv show and video games as well, but now im staying with films for a while.P: stuckon3d

It has been a while since this thread was touched... before the transfer in fact. Anyway, I was downloading all the pictures off my camera tonight, clearing up space for the weekend trip and I found some pictures I meant to post here.
These are last fall on a walk around downtown Huntsville. I really enjoy taking walks during short breaks. That is unless it is scorching hot which it will be very soon from now.

As of today I am "working" here, (as long as the sun does not prevent me from recognizing anything on the screen, what happens in the early afternoon).
And when I take a walk or go cycling (which I really need to do to get my mind cleaned up after a couple of hours playing with the 3D-stuff
) the surroundings look like this... in downtown Frankfurt.
Cheers,

Hi,
I have only just come across this post.
I work for a company based in the heart of Liverpool city centre.
A city that had been neglected for decades is now having nearly £1Billion (yes, one billion!) spent in an effort to restore some of its previous glory.
While parts of Liverpool did fall in to a terrible state many people didn't realise that Liverpool has some of the best neo-classical buildings in Europe.The main view out of my window is St.Georges Hall.
St George's Hall is widely regarded as a major work of European architecture and arguably, the finest neo-classical building in the world.
Alongside this beautiful building is the Walker Art Gallery. Another fine building.Attached are images of my office from inside and out and the buildings mentioned above.
Regards
Mr S=======

Aha! so that's what that new building is. Now I'm really jealous; you're virtually sitting on top of the La Tasca tapas bar.
Yes, more grade II listed building than any UK city outside of London; more Georgian buildings than Bath. I just hope the collateral damage to either isn't too great during this massive redevelopment....exciting and welcome though it is.

Hello Eric. I was in Hunstville about four weeks ago and I thought it was pretty darn hot then! How do you folks work outdoors in the summer?
Of course, I'm in Maine, so everything tends to be warmer/hotter than here!Stephen
ps first time in Hunstville, I thought it was a pretty nice.
-
Stephen, glad you enjoyed yourself here, even if it was hot for you.
Yes it was pretty hot when you were here. The past couple days have been excellent. High of 80 and not a clout to be had. Cool breeze in the shade...It is getting hot again however.
Did you get to see Big Spring Park downtown? I work a block from here:
I try to walk there whenever I can, yes even when it is hot.
I just feel sorry for the guys who just replaced my roof
Now that is hot. -
u re so lucky to say i work here or even i work
cheers!

Hi Alan,
Yes, you are right, we are right next to the La Tasca Tapas bar.
Every now and then we get a whiff of whats cooking.
I walk past it going home of an evening and the smell makes me feel as though I am on my holidays.I'm not quite sure about the re-development taking place in the city.
I have been to see the first phase which was opened to the public a few weeks ago.
Its all very impressive shiny steel and glass.
But... I feel as though it could be part of any modern city in the world.
It didn't feel as though it had anything unique to our city.
It had no real atmosphere or soul. A bit like the shopping malls in America, just more temples to consumerism. (Sorry, Americans!)
Also, it feels as though the centre of the city is being transplanted closer to the docks.
Maybe not a bad thing in the long run providing the "old" centre doesn't end up abandoned.Regards
Mr S -
Eric, I did 'pass' by the park, didn't see too much of it unfortunitely. I did see the Space Museum though. And Little Paul's (is that the name of the restaurant?)
I can understand your appreciation of walks. I'm a 'walker' too (I used all my running miles up). Every day- -4d to 95d, I really enjoy the extremes.Stephen

Dear All,
The building where I work is shown here:
As you can see, it is not very inspiring. However, the building next door (literally) is a triumph of architecture, so take a look:
The atrium is very beautiful, and the columns supporting the gothic arches around the sides are all made from different stone. For a virtual tour of Oxford, then:
Kind regards,
Bob
