COMMERCIAL BLVD. LBTS – PAVILION RISING…
A walk last night …and a close -up view of the new LBTS- Pavilion rising…with a new rendering attached to the fence…( note…you have to get up close to see it….)…the right rendering…according to the Town Manager…the one without walls…without bathrooms…(which were to have plumbing installed underground for future installation…which will definitely require those missing walls)……making the Town Topics rendition…WRONG…(just another reason to discard this worthless outdated publication…Commissioners please take note)…It shows a pavilion in the works…that lacks any ingenuity…..and individuality …it has taken a turn so far off track… from the original contest entry and the ultimate prize winner from Fort Lauderdale Art Institute winner Edwin Forbes…that once again in this town… many…many people…residents…commissioners…board members…along with the students…wasted a lot of time to end up with….a pretty generic centerpiece…when you look at it…
The only remaining reminder of the original architecture….the roof…and that…(now more apparent in this rendering)… may end up being a trouble maker…as it makes a home for unwanted flying friends…(a sore subject often brought up over this long process…but I admit….I did not really pay attention until seeing this new attached depiction…OOPS!)….
I also remember an entry brought forth from the past commission dais…former Vice Mayor Yanni… a photo of a neighboring pavilion…no walls…no bathrooms…just a roof……(2 compliments for the former Vice Mayor in the same week…WOW!)…….less poles… and I believe taller…more sight line…to the ocean…
HERE A PAVILION…THERE A PAVILION….ours will be joining them in February….
more to come…
