18 Cities with uninspired tallest buildings

Listed below are 18 American cities whose tallest buildings are less than inspiring nor particularly appealing visually. In many cases it appears that function (or budgetary considerations) overruled form as the lack of of panache, style, adornments, and interesting architectural features have made these buildings rather bland. It seems to this author that if you are going to the effort to construct the tallest building in a city, it ought to have some personality and visual appeal that enhances pride in the community.

When comparing the Rhodes State Office Tower in Columbus, Ohio to its surrounding counterparts, it is quite apparent that the Rhodes Tower is boxy and lacks charm. This is especially evident when viewing it in comparison to the city’s prior tallest building, the stunningly gorgeous LeVeque Tower.

What may be the most disappointing is the example from Charleston, South Carolina. This is not because the building is worse than the others, but due to the fact that it seems out-of-sync with the historic colonial integrity of that charming city.

Sixteen of the 19 towers (there is one tie) identified below were built between the mid-1960s to the mid-1980s. That may say something about the styles employed during that two-decade period or that budgetary considerations outweighed style. Hopefully, if and when some of these towers are refurbished, the work can include adding some features that make them visually more appealing.

Peace!

I know I haven’t quite “bonded” with this platform yet, but I’ve started a Patreon to keep my #map shop (the only one in Indiana) and place-based brick-and-mortar store open. It’s become an important *place* for #Muncie, #Indiana. I can pull it off if I reach 200 supporters. Plenty of perks with more to come, plus a full strategy for more Patreon content, merch discounts via online store, and more if we do end up having to close the meatspace shop: https://patreon.com/MuncieMapCo

Stranger at the Gate

This Oscar Nominated short film is about bigotry in my hometown.

Very hard to watch. But highly recommended.

#Muncie is not diverse. In fact, it was once deemed the whitest, most Protestant city in the US by sociologists.

Go watch it.

‘Stranger at the Gate’ featuring Muncie mosque gets Oscar nomination - Muncie Star Press

And now the episode where there is a reference to writing policy for the “Muncie Chamber of Commerce”.

#Muncie

From hate to understanding.

Spend 28m with Mac who is the “Stranger at the Gate”
When Richard McKinney returned to the U.S. from tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan, he was angry, isolated, and filled with Islamophobia. He devised a plan to attack the local mosque in Muncie, Indiana, but, when he visited the facility to do reconnaissance, he found, instead of enemies, a community that embraced and transformed him.

I made a #map called “Weird & Wonderful” for #Muncie. We released it in August and it highlights the places that make our city unique. It sells reasonably well. But last week, someone ordered a gigantic mounted version, and here I am, holding it for a picture.

I had so much fun making this map a few months ago, highlighting the weird and wonderful places that make #Muncie unique. Features include everything from informal place names and odd landmarks to public art and venues to historic buildings and neighborhoods to tattoo parlors and sex shops. I crowdsourced some of the spots via MMC’s social media and his data is absolutely *begging* to have an interactive built of it… maybe after MMC’s holiday rush is put to bed for 2022. 🤷‍♂️

My name is Andy, and I do #geography. I live w my partner of 18 yrs, Amy & two kinda stupid dogs, Rex & Roger. I’m an autistic PhD, was a prof for six yrs before going 🖕😄🖕to academia. We started #Muncie #Map Co. in my hometown, selling custom #maps #cartography, locally relevant graphic artwork & #place -building goodies. I enjoy snapshot photos, #StarTrek, #Formula1, local history, walkable urban environments, smoking, & laughing at dumb memes #Introduction #Introductions #cartography #mapping
