"The newest designs for a planned, 20-story hotel at the Potawatomi Bingo Casino look like an improvement. But a comparison of the newest renderings, presented to the city’s Plan Commission last week, and earlier ones reveals a dramatic improvement in materials but some telling concessions in terms of refinement, too.
A quick turn around the Potawatomi complex and the problem becomes obvious.
How can a slim, glassy tower with elegant patterning and articulation exist amid the hulking industrial buildings around it and –— worse –— connect to the bulkiness and kitsch of the casino itself? Imagine a delicate crystal box from Tiffany’s tucked into a cluttered machine-shop shelf, and you start to get the picture."
