Designing our Casino in Cincinnati

Photos of this event are in the Gallery. I went to the Art Academy today to watch more than 600 people participate in a design charette for our new casino.This fabulous idea came from the architects international association whose members did something similar last year for Ft. Washington Way, then gave all the results to the City -- for free. People divided into 4 rooms and brainstormed. I overheard some fabulous suggestions; a green roof for the casino, courtyards to break up the big building, verifiable energy efficiency and emphasis on reduction of waste (no styrofoam perhaps?) It's so good to see so many people who care about our fair City. The casino offers a wonderful opportunity and events like today increase the chance we'll make the most of it.

Yes it was a great session. The problem is that most there didn't know the history of the problems in the city and or area, Most hadn't considered what will happen when they put those wonderful ideals next to abject poverty + crime [see stats on the Empowerment Zone incl, OTR, MT Auburn and West End].
