OUR DULL CITYSCAPE
I am writing in response regarding
the issue brought up by Alex V. Cipolle
on Jan. 7. Architecture is a visual art and
the buildings speak for themselves. The
features of a building must have their own
beauty, and people who create it must have
their own creativity. Why do I say so? As
we can see, most of the buildings in Eugene
are all of the same shape. So, where is the
value of artistry in an architect?
Instead of having one kind of building,
why don’t we have different shapes that
will improve the view in Eugene? This
might help to enhance the dull environment
in this city. As Eugene will be hosting the
International Association of Athletics
Federations World Championships in
2021, an improvement is vitally needed
in this city. According to Cipolle’s article,
Laurence said, “By 2021, the eyes of
the world will be on us and people are
here from 180 countries.” Therefore, an
enhancement of buildings should be done
for a better image — an image of the city
that represents the citizens themselves.

A SAFE CITY HALL
I am eagerly writing a letter in response
to your Jan. 14 article “City Hall Costs Go
Up, Timeline Lengthens” to agree with the
City Council members about investigating
the new City Hall’s infrastructure to be
earthquake resistant.
Most of us, as employees, could
agree that being in a safe work place is
fi rst priority. Although Oregon’s term
“life safety” which is defi ned as workers
safely evacuating the building during an
earthquake seems adequate, wouldn’t it
make more sense to pay the extra money
and have the building still be functional
after an earthquake?
If one of the major censures of the
old City Hall was its lack of earthquake
readiness, why would we hesitate to put
in the extra money to potentially avoid a
devastating blow to the new City Hall?
With the completion of this building
being extended a year, the city staff should
grant the building to be [more] earthquake
resistant. They would be dumb not to.
After all, generally, buildings that are safer
are buildings that people feel better about
funding.
