Spacing associate editor Dylan Reid has already posted a critique<\/a> of the four finalists, so I’ll spare you my opinions (they don’t differ too much from Dylan’s, though I did enjoy the work of Plant — their presentation tonight at City Hall drove home some points that were not readily apparent in their mounted renderings, especially their fantastic knowledge of trees, the urban forest, and landscaping).<\/p>\n

So here are a variety of renderings provided by the City. Each link will take you to a large version of a rendering. Looking forward to your comments [though, make sure to see the display at City Hall in the Rotunda, and don’t just base your opinions on these renderings alone].
