Comments on: The New Westfield Culver City: Off Target http://adamchristian.us/2009/11/13/the-new-westfield-culver-city-off-target/ Wed, 06 Jan 2010 21:38:10 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Jack http://adamchristian.us/2009/11/13/the-new-westfield-culver-city-off-target/comment-page-1/#comment-57 Jack Wed, 06 Jan 2010 21:38:10 +0000 http://adamchristian.us/?p=128#comment-57 Thanks Adam -- This is the first critique of this renovated mall I've seen, but there should be more. Good point on the parking disarray and generally disoriented new design. (And not in the more preferable "safely lost" sense of Jon Jerde's designs.) But more disturbing for me -- a Culver City citizen-- is that many of these problems exist because the whole complex has been pushed as close as possible to the 405 in order to get a big payoff from GIGANTIC vertical billboards. big, ugly, confusing, congested. And someone explain why we need TWO Targets and TWO Best Buys within a half-mile of each other.... Other than that, I love the inside. Very airy and open. Thanks Adam –
