 Remulons to Unveil Stealth Tower in Kentucky Thursday, February 9, 2006
The building's design has been a well-guarded secret. A public exhibit at 609 Main -- scheduled to open tomorrow and featuring scale models of the building -- has been guarded for the past week by an off-duty police officer. Black drapes have kept anyone from seeing inside. We weep for you, Kentucky. · Skyscraper to Transform Louisville Skyline [Courier-Journal] Reader Comments (29 extant) 1. Transform is a word. I'm embarrassed to be an arhitect. Our profession is dead. What a big, SUCK building. By Blunt Force Trauma at February 9, 2006 12:42 PM2. That building is holy shit retarded. By Anonymous at February 9, 2006 6:29 PM3. wow. read the article. the remster calls it "hyper-rational." wow. By rems-a-dufus at February 9, 2006 7:13 PM4. poor louisville. OMA obviously did this on the plane on the way over. All i can say is "monorail, monorail, monorail!" By ando's dog at February 9, 2006 7:42 PM5. The guy who sent in comment # 1 should be embarrassed... He can't SPELL architect.. By me at February 9, 2006 8:39 PM6. Hey, if Louisville city planners and developers are willing to embrace this monsterous piece of crap, then they deserve every last square foot. Let's just hope the 'kickstand' holds. Utterly ridiculous! By smitten at February 9, 2006 11:55 PM7. I didn't know 'The Onion' had a Louisville sister newspaper. And it's even funnier than the original! By Brady Westwater at February 10, 2006 2:21 AM8. Please, weep for us mightily. By Joe in Louisville at February 10, 2006 4:59 AM9. 10. It's not only hideous, when you look at it superimposed on the skyline, it completely throws the entire downtown off-balance. And it hulks over these amazing historic iron facade buildings on Main Street like one of those alien death machines from last year's War of the Worlds remake. Louisville was doing so well...until this... By I Just Play One On TV at February 10, 2006 11:55 AM11. One of the ugliest things (not buildings...things) I've ever seen in my life. I feel sorry for those of you in Louisville. By AlabamaLlama at February 10, 2006 1:39 PM12. This makes libeskind look good... By Anonymous at February 10, 2006 1:50 PM13. i LOVE it. you guys don't get it, and with this building, rem is proving that he DOES get it, after everyone claims he doesn't. he doesn't give a shit about what the world architecture body likes b/c they all suck. he gets it, he's creating a legacy that is defined as "monster of the reality no one will face with integrity" and he's loving every minute of it. b/c he knows, as do most intelligent ppl, that he is rationalized by the validity of the independent. he's not a socialist like 95% of architects, he's a capitalist. and there are more coming... By kellen at February 10, 2006 5:11 PM14. huh? By gerry in pomona at February 10, 2006 5:17 PM15. "he's not a socialist like 95% of architects, he's a capitalist." Uh-oh, "Fountainhead" alert... By Adam Sobolak at February 10, 2006 7:51 PM16. Never saw an Ayn I didn't Rand... By FLW at February 10, 2006 8:21 PM17. Who the fuck is architect Josh Remus, 36? 18. This looks like Mies' Lake Shore Drive Apartments getting gang fucked then cloned then getting one of those fancy new French skin transplants then getting gang fucked again. Ayn Rand indeed.

This building I believe, for the most part, already exists in Tokyo. It is an H shaped building. By japan at February 13, 2006 11:56 AM22. i don't know what all the fuss is about. it's fine as a design for a tall building. what do you guys want, feathers sticking out your butts or what?
