We've been getting trainloads of inquiries as to what's happening with the old Railroad Square building on santa barbara street.
Originally built in 1912, this three-story brick warehouse structure has been the subject of decades of additions, alterations, and more recently, fire and earthquake damage.
But all that is history.
Unreinforced brick and mortar will be gloriously re-birthed, and complemented with clean, modern additions which will respectfully flank the restored centerpiece.
And since a picture is always worth a thousand words, here you go. More eye-candy can be found at www.railroadsquare.info

Geek alert: What software did you use to create that rendering on the webpage? Me likey.
si: good to hear from you. the software used to create that rendering is a rather obscure and rarely used application called the "human hand" (although not mine, but one of my talented staff). yes, it's true: that is a real watercolor painting. we still kick it old school here at ga+d
no, no. i don't know what happened to the link to railroadsquare.info in fact your whole webpage is not available online. it had an image that disappeared when you rolled over it with the mouse. I don't believe that anyone in the whole world could render in watercolor what i'm thinking i saw. although your watercolor rendering is indeed very nice, this was a perspective, not an elevation and had to be digital. anyway, nice work.
railroadsquare.info is forbidden...why does that make me want to go there even more?
si: sorry for the artistic misunderstanding. the rendering of which you speak was in fact a digital compilation of an analogue photo+digital sketchup model+photoshop editing+some architectural love. regarding the website, our CEO forgot to pay the ISP bill, so we were temporarily without cyber-presence....but all has been remedied....thanks for the heads-up.

Maybe I'm behind the times, but just watched a documentary called TED: The future we create. A bunch of thinkers and such who get together in Monterey.
This dude had the idea for this website to make Architecture more available to the poorest people on the planet...Sun Microsystems and a bunch of other peeps jumped on board and tada...OpenArchitectureNetwork.org.
Cool huh?
