Submission + - Replacing New Hampshire's Old Man of the Mountain (townsandtrails.com)
Holdstrong writes: "New Hampshire's iconic natural rock formation, the Old Man of the Mountain, fell from its mountain side perch back in 2003. Award winning Architect Francis D. Treves is proposing a monument to replace it. His idea would feature a replica of the Old Man made out of 250 suspended glass panels and would allow visitors to enter the structure in order to gain views of the valley below. The design has received harsh criticism from the public, in part, Mr. Treves believes, due to the fact that quality images and accurate information about his design are hard to come by. Replacing a beloved natural monument with a man-made one is sure to raise emotions. Will a clearer understanding of the design help sway public opinion?"
