I mean if you don't live here. You don't understand. The thing is really big it's really really really big. It's incredibly well it's mind-boggling I mean the pictures show a little bit but they don't show everything. If you stand there and actually experience it first-hand. It blows your mind away.
You'd think they would've made an episode of Home Improvement here, since the show took place in Detroit. This is totally the kind of place I could imagine Tim the Tool Man Taylor wanting to take his family to for a tour. Or maybe tape an episode of Tool Time there.
Does anyone else feel that GM decimated this building? I remember when it first opened in the late 70's. Walking around this place back then was life affirming. It made me want to peruse architecture as a career. The way Portman combined the concrete and greenery, trees, marble waterfall, walkways, lighting, Gerhardt Knodel artwork hanging in the atrium, etc. GM converted one of the biggest architectural wonders of the world into a shopping mall. Like taking the Mona Lisa, and painting over it with fluorescent paints. Palm trees? Tacky neon around the top of the building? Video walls? I bet John Portman is rolling over in his grave. It's really an abomination. 90% of the original vision is lost, and no one seems to care. Where are all the preservationists now? The ones who whine and protest whenever some old building is handled like this. But with the RenCen, no one seems to care. Thank God the Bonaventure is still intact. There, we can see what the RenCen was supposed to be like. Detroit had one of the modern architectural wonders of the world. A brutalist masterwork for the rest of the planet to reference. Now we have a big, tacky, car showroom. Sad and disgraceful.
I know what you mean. I was always fascinated by this building and how unique it still is to this day. Absolutely love the RenCen even for what it is now. I really want to see this place fully occupied like it was and not anything else. Now I am very concerned learning that GM is moving out and what will happen next. I am praying that they leave our building alone being the most iconic building seen for miles.
I suppose if you're lucky enough to have a job at GM headquarters you can hang on in Detroit, but that must be a very select few. Where's the CEO's office?

I totally agree. Use to love going to the Ren Cen back in the day. Now I almost never go inside. I feel like I'm invading someone's home.

It casts a shadow. Office space will fill with a confident e-vehicle market. E-vehicles on one side and Gas vehicles on the other.
