Developers: Triangle Records Building was ‘alternative construction’

Changes to the Triangles Records and Tapes building have sparked outcry from community members and historic preservationists.

The developers of the Triangles Records building have disputed claims they are demolishing the building.

“It’s alternative construction,”said Jacob Jefferies, of Kingdom LLC, the developer for the project.

Bulldozers removed approximately three-quarters of the mid-century building Tuesday. Jefferies said the new method is an effort to maintain the character of the building while maximizing the height and profitability.

“Alternative construction is not construction,” preservationist Bill Dinlover said. “It’s demolition.”

The plan calls for a 30-story mixed-use building filled with 200 microunits that will house young urban professionals. Originally, the 69-year-old building housed a car dealership, but this project will maintain tribute to this purpose with 27 stories of parking.

Community members and preservation activists have been meeting with the developers to try to convince them to preserve the entire building and amend the plans. The alternative construction of the building led to outrage and controversy as people claimed the method was actually demolition.

Part of the controversy surrounding the development surrounds the possibility of the use of a tax incentive to help fund the project. Some community members feel alternative construction was not appropriate, and giving public money to the project could send the wrong message.

Kingdom maintains they are just keeping up with current methods for historic preservation in downtown and “doing more than most” to preserve the building. Michelle Todds, the historic preservation officer for Phoenix said she had never heard of alternative construction as a method of preservation.

“The standards for preservation are constantly changing,” Janet Daisy, a representative of the developer said. “Kingdom development is just adjusting to a changing downtown.”

Daisy also accused Phoenix Diablo of being fake news after reporting the development as demolition.

Jacob Jefferies the principal developer for the project said the new method is an effort to maintain the character of the building while maximizing the height.

“So many buildings these days are trying to knock it down and start all new,” Geoffries said. “We’re doing better.”

Artists will paint the building, and be heavily involved in the design. The murals and artwork will be a tribute to the memory to the artists.

“As rents rise and galleries close at least we’ll have the murals to remember the art district by,” Pat Metrisko said.

Kingdom plans to push forward with the alternative construction of the building. They maintain that a tax break is needed for the alternative preservation to be completed. If not they will have to demolish the building. Jefferies said the goal is to preserve the history of the building so long as they are still building the most profitable building possible.

“If all else fails I guess we’ll just put a tribute plaque outside,” Jefferies shrugged.

  3. Jan Beutel was half-watching a live stream of Kleines Nesthorn, a mountain peak in the Swiss Alps, when he realized its cacophony of creaks and rumbles was getting louder. He dropped his work, turned up the sound and found himself unable to look away.

    “The whole screen exploded,” he said.

    Beutel, a computer engineer specializing in mountain monitoring, had just witnessed a glacier collapse. On May 28, an avalanche of millions of tons of ice and rock barreled down the slope, burying Blatten, a centuries-old village nestled in the valley below.

    Local authorities had already evacuated the village after parts of the mountain had crumbled onto the glacier; a 64-year old man believed to have stayed remains missing.

    But no one expected an event of this magnitude.

    Successive rock avalanches onto the glacier increased the pressure on the ice, causing it to melt faster and the glacier to accelerate, eventually destabilizing it and pushing it from its bed. The collapse was sudden, violent and catastrophic. “This one just left no moment to catch a breath,” Beutel said.
    The underlying causes will take time to unravel. A collapse of this magnitude would have been set in motion by geological factors going back decades at least, said Matthias Huss, a glaciologist at the Swiss university ETH Zurich.

    But it’s “likely climate change is involved,” he said, as warming temperatures melt the ice that holds mountains together. It’s a problem affecting mountains across the planet.

    People have long been fascinated with mountains for their dramatic beauty. Some make their homes beneath them — around 1 billion live in mountain communities — others are drawn by adventure, the challenge of conquering peaks.

    These majestic landscapes have always been dangerous, but as the world warms, they are becoming much more unpredictable and much deadlier.

    “We do not fully understand the hazard at the moment, nor how the dangers are changing with climate change,” said David Petley, an Earth scientist at the University of Hull in England.

  9. Deep below the surface of the ground in one of the driest parts of the country, there is a looming problem: The water is running out — but not the kind that fills lakes, streams and reservoirs.
    [url=https://kra34c.cc]kraken darknet[/url]
    The amount of groundwater that has been pumped out of the Colorado River Basin since 2003 is enough to fill Lake Mead, researchers report in a study published earlier this week. Most of that water was used to irrigate fields of alfalfa and vegetables grown in the desert Southwest.

    No one knows exactly how much is left, but the study, published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, shows an alarming rate of withdrawal of a vital water source for a region that could also see its supply of Colorado River water shrink.

    “We’re using it faster and faster,” said Jay Famiglietti, an Arizona State University professor and the study’s senior author.

    In the past two decades, groundwater basins – or large, underground aquifers – lost more than twice the amount of water that was taken out of major surface reservoirs, Famiglietti’s team found, like Mead and Lake Powell, which themselves have seen water levels crash.

    The Arizona State University research team measured more than two decades of NASA satellite observations and used land modeling to trace how groundwater tables in the Colorado River basin were dwindling. The team focused mostly on Arizona, a state that is particularly vulnerable to future cutbacks on the Colorado River.
    Groundwater makes up about 35% of the total water supply for Arizona, said Sarah Porter, director of the Kyl Center for Water Policy at Arizona State University, who was not directly involved in the study.

    The study found groundwater tables in the Lower Colorado River basin, and Arizona in particular, have declined significantly in the last decade. The problem is especially pronounced in Arizona’s rural areas, many of which don’t have groundwater regulations, and little backup supply from rivers. With wells in rural Arizona increasingly running dry, farmers and homeowners now drill thousands of feet into the ground to access water.

    Scientists don’t know exactly how much groundwater is left in Arizona, Famiglietti added, but the signs are troubling.

    “We have seen dry stream beds for decades,” he said. “That’s an indication that the connection between groundwater and rivers has been lost.”
