Currently at work and an idea hit me...

I'm going to leave this here and brainstorm some things (I don't even have the programs or equipment to fully do what I want to do right now) and come back to it, but I'd like to turn the old abandoned power plant on Panther Island into a building of multiple halls for music, concerts, art, etc...

As soon as I can, I'll get back to this.

Worked up in Cleveland OH. awhile back and they turned their old power plant into a West End, type of building on the Cuyahoga River.
The Fort Worth building shouldn’t fall to the wrecking ball.

Here's some ideas.  The last one from Berlin reminds me of your renderings at river level with the steps down.

(SIDE NOTE) I don't think Hometown by Handlebar is still an active member of this forum, but hats off for the level of detail and extensive research he has done on a number of topics.  His work is near the level of the late great Pete Charlton.

If I'm not mistaken he's a retired reporter so the material is pretty high quality.
