Architects propose a slice of Manhattan in Orlando
Orlando hasn’t seen anything like this before.
Two of the four ultra-modern buildings planned for the downtown block across from the Orange County Courthouse would feature sides that don’t align vertically. Picture building blocks stacked by a woozy toddler.
“There’s going to be controversy and discussion about it, because there’s nothing like it in Orlando. But I think that’s good — art is controversial,” said Tim Lemons of the city’s Development Review Committee, which gave preliminary approval to the design Tuesday.
