So ... this Houston area architect, Kevin Shanley ... he is lauded as some kind of genius saviour? Or thanked and forgotten.
The man was really thinking! The "meandering" and "retention" areas make incredible sense! A straight line would "encourage the water" (yeah, I actually said that) to move more and more quickly the farther it went, causing more and more destruction towards the end of its mad dash to the Gulf!
Way to go, Kevin Shanley, AIA ... that's usin' the ol' noggin for more that a hat rack!
