Description
Steven Holl performed a Shinto like a ceremony to inaugurate the building site. He blew a huge horn for a groundbreaking, even though the ground had already been broken and the slab poured. Steven's daughter blew a little toy trumpet for the ceremony. Someone tried to put a robe over her shoulders as well, but she kept shrugging it off. The second part of the ceremony consisted of Steven pouring salt in all the corners of the slab. The salt was to "protect" the framing to that was next to be done. I usually have a nice time at the ‘T’ Space openings. On my way home, I realized something about the event left me with a sadness.
