If Project Runway reviewed buildings, would LRS Architects’ Green Lake designs get them kicked off the show?
Here’s my interpretation of how Green Lake’s Hearthstone on Woodlawn’s design review would go down…
Michael Kors: I don’t get it, here you are with a great location to work with, a neighborhood with personality, and you come to the table with something that doesn’t reflect any of that.
Heidi Klum: I don’t like it, it’s so brown. It looks boring.
Nina Garcia: This building looks old and tired. I’ve seen some of your other work, where you’ve put together some really innovative projects (like your Hillsboro Civic Center). Why didn’t you show us any of that today?
And if you want to play ‘Project Runway’ judge for these two buildings (project 3006394 and 3006399)- make sure to attend it’s Early Design Review Meeting:
Early Design Review for 6850 & 6870 Woodlawn Ave NE

[...] I’m not an architect, nor am I an urban planner, just someone who got into this land use activism game by fighting against some proposed development near my house. Unfortunately for me though, when it comes to critiquing designs, I simply don’t have that quiver of architectural knowledge needed to deliver just that right zinger to effortlessly deflate the ’hot air’ out of the firm who designed a flawed building. (Of couse, I do have a disturbingly full quiver of pop-cultural references which I pull from in order to shoot with cheerful abandon- see my Project Runway critique.) [...]
