Trylon & Perisphere Ⅱ will be the same scale as their 1939 NY World's Fair predecessors; built as permanent structures with modern materials. Perisphere Ⅱ might appear distinctly geodesic (original was smooth), and is planned to contain a "Museum Of The American World's Fair".
ALT Sneak-Peek rendering of Belle Isle City's "Trylon & Perisphere Ⅱ" complex; located at the eastern foot of Númenor St. in the Expo/Fair District on the east end of Belle Isle adjacent to Blue Heron Lagoon.

This part nicely captures the "dream" I had awhile back of 'Alternate' Portland & Seattle. The former whose outskirts I visited by car, the latter by passing high-speed rail. I wish I was being fanciful, as the beauty thereof actually depressed me for the next few days.

Supplemental: The new twins will be roughly similar to TTII and/ergo the originals (incl. layout & orientation); though a bit glassier, decorative spire with flagpole, only 3 bldgs (twins plus grand lowrise mercantile exchange hall), and named different (still {1,2} prefixed).

@BelleIsleCity's government has an explicit obligation to keep the island safe, orderly, and pleasant; as its existence and that of the city depends on land value, which in turn depends explicitly on prosperity, security thereof, and quality of life thereby.

We're planning to realize @BelleIsleCity's transit system via a Bombardier Innovia-300 monorail (express & Detroit service) and a Siemens S-700 streetcar (local service). Both privately financed. Both fully automated (atypical for S-700 but necessary for efficiency).

@BelleIsleCity SEZ is planning a land value tax whereby funds raised cannot exceed budget, budget must be balanced (deficit spending prohibited), and taxes only increase if land values increase (ergo budget only increases if gov't does good job supporting such). @honestpollster

Supplemental: Groovy! Quick glance at google AI response sources implies that trees in rooftop decks of even fairly large size are much more feasible than I thought. Root growth can be generally & sustainably controlled with adequate barriers & routine fairly easy maintenance!

BTW: Storage is another great point, both for personal and common items (latter incl. pool/sports equipment, outdoor furniture, etc.); of which My Detroit Haussmann UC bldgs at @BelleIsleCity can realize via supply closets near the large common courtyard access double doors:

Just rebuild the freaking original Penn Station with upgraded materials & amenities. Not difficult unless stupid people with stupid amounts of undeserved wealth & power purposely make it difficult.

Reject sinking Númenor. Embrace rising Gondor & Arnor. The burden, challenge, & feasibility of restoring the best of American civilization eases significantly when one realizes & accepts that most of America not only can't but won't be restored. Leave the weeds to wither away.

Thank you @elonmusk & @XDevelopers for preserving resolution & quality of uploaded images in posts! I just now fully recovered a recently shared render of progress on the BIFC design of which I didn't save local for whatever reason but did find utility for now. Much Appreciated!

The irony is that LLM datacenters are stupid inefficient for many uses due to what they are & how they work s.t. brute force is used to resolve solutions. It's like flying an aircraft with 1 billion fans when jet engines exist; i.e. there are MANY other kinds of AI architectures.

This is the heraldic seal I designed for Belle Isle Freedom City (planned for the eponymous island off the coast of Detroit); of whose master plan & architectural vision I designed and am presently refining.

I designed St. Christopher's Church on Belle Isle with a tight schedule & budget in mind, as to feature a modern steel/rebar skeleton clad in high quality thick stones; s.t. it achieves an indistinguishably classic appearance in 10 years & millions of dollars ⬝vs⬝ 100 of each!

Me as a political recluse noticing that in the past month: first the Christians and now the America Firsters on X were baited into and/or willfully started dirty internal conflicts that are presently doing more harm than good. IMO: focus your energy towards resolving things ASAP.

I planned to follow up my earlier post WRT the Seattle fair bldgs by informing I'd likely realize variants at the full-scale modernized Trylon & Perisphere I'm planning at Expo Fair; but never got to send it. I only now saw this post in my feed. Strange coincidence or a sign?!?

Since I've shown a preview of the new BIFC east end master plan in a recent reply post: every glowing shape in this image is an @UrbanCourtyard contained within a {6,7,8} floor building in the 'Détroit Haussmann' style.

Supplemental: I'm planning for the non UC buildings to have resident amenities and common areas on their attic/loft floor and/or rooftop decks in lieu of courtyards. Decks obviously limited via keycard access to residents ~17 years and older unless escorted by a parent/guardian.

...so BTW we're gonna need a lot of statues throughout BIFC as I'm planning to fill the parks and many lowrise building rooftops with them; and that they're produced with machines is not a problem because we will likely have a tight budget for initial beautification.

This lady will be taking a big chunk of that budget lol; i.e. a full-scale fully-gilded replica of 'Statue Of The Republic' from the Chicago 1893 World Columbian Expo (a scaled down fully-gilded variant of which currently stands in Chicago's Jackson Park).
