PlanningBoard | 2016-09-26 | 7 | Board Member Mitchell asked the architect to discuss the fabric panels used in the design. Mr. Delasantos said they function as a solar shading device and they should be very long lasting. Board Member Mitchell said he agrees that the blank wall on the corner needs something to activate it. He said he was a little concerned with the tensioned fabric panels. Board Member Zuppan said she liked the vibrant color at the street level. She agreed with other Board Members that something needed to be added to the blank wall. Board Member Köster said he liked the pops of color. He said he is not sold on the garage entryway. He said he liked the fins but has concerns with potential noise or vibrations due to wind. He suggested turning the blank wall into a green wall that climbs up to the terrace above. Board Member Sullivan said she thought the east elevation was too plain. She shared concerns about the fabric fins. She said the mosaic tiles could make the project look dated very quickly. She said she liked the idea of a living wall. 8.
