Thread: Devon Energy Center

    It didn't take the Devon Tower for me to realize it was hideous. Although now that they no longer have the title as the tallest in downtown the ugliness stands out.

    Some neon lights along the edge would go a long ways in sprucing that place up. I just don't think the cowboys at the Cotter Ranch really have much skills in urban design.

    I think the Chase building is MORE palpable now that it's not sticking out as the tallest building in the skyline. I mentioned before that I think it will be a nice change of pace when it's the 4th or 5th tallest building in the skyline.

    I agree that some trim lights would help considerably.

    That's the only way I can bare it... Surely guessing it wasn't JoePDX who attacked you, lol.

    Haha, no it wasn't that clown. He attacked me once but eventually he just gave up and said he might need to visit Oklahoma City to try and change his opinion on us. He's a sad excuse for a troll. LOL

    I also noticed that you can see Jupiter (or maybe its Venus) just the the right of the FNC spire. Pretty cool!

    Personally, I think Devon makes Chase look better. Chase is no longer the tallest or signature tower anymore, but it's ugliness and stout 70's Industrial-Style is a nice change from the glamor that is devon, the modern that is OK Tower and the Glass buildings, and the Art Deco that is FNC and City place, and the brutalist that is SandRidge/KerrMcGee.

    in fact, I think it is great for OKC to have prominent skyscrapers now from every school of architecture; though we don't really have a true post-modern tower YET unless devon is considered post-modern. ...

    Good Analysis Hot Rod, however I personally would consider the Chase tower truly international style in the Miesian school. I've never really liked those horrid little arches at the top of the building, but every city does need it own big black box. What would be nice is if the facade were to be replaced (minus the white arches) with a truly elegant floor to ceiling dark tinted glass: kind of like the Seagrams in NYC.

    (Besides, that was the skyscraper of my childhood... please don't take it away.....)

    Yes, it does. Here's what to do:

    1) In YouTube, click the Share button; a dialogue opens. In that dialog, an "Options ▼" link is present below the embed address box. Click that link. Then, a check box is present which reads, "Long link." Click that link. Then, in the embed address box, a long link is present. Select that link and copy the link to your clipboard (Ctrl+C).

    2) Back here in the forum as you are composing a message, click the video icon (looks like a film strip clip). A dialog will open into which you paste (Ctrl+V) the link you earlier copied. Then, press the OK button.

    That's it, and you get this:



    Don't use the YouTube icon in this forum when composing a message in advanced mode -- use the video icon, as I said, which is present in either basic or advanced mode.

    Hope this helps.
