While I am really not a big fan of the architectural expression (looks like a carnival exploded), the boulevard is quite successful from the articles and books I have read/looked at.
From your previous research like: scavenger hunt, schools in columbus, and case study like this one, have you come up with the "anchor" piece that drew people back to downtown?
This is just getting more interesting, because in the past people just build big shopping mall to bring people into the area, but for this case, the city center shopping mall is already dead. Would you revive new "mall" into the city center? parks? how successful to bring waterfront features during winter time in C-bus vs sunny place like in San Diego??
We currently live in a 1927 Craftsman house. Recently completed a total kitchen remodel, a complete gut to the studs and build out with our own two hands.
Our family consists of three cats: Shrimpy, Cocktail and Diesel.
My fiancee, Missy, also graduated in architecture from Ohio State. She recently passed the LEED AP exam and has several active green building projects through her firm, WD Partners.
An interesting quote from Renzo Piano during an interview with Archinect: "I think it important to note the difference between style and coherence. If you're talking coherence, I love it. If you're talking about style, then I start to wonder."
