  • Ramed by a Sleek Glass Elevator Descending from Pittsburgh's Theater Square Parking Tower, the Scene Below Exudes Artsy Sophi
    12 12 building TPittsburgh’s Cultural RUST Trust, manager of a downtown district that houses $200 million worth of philanthropic dreams, has had immeasurable success as an artistic presenter. Now, as it blows out the candles on its 25th birthday, there is a recounting of its history as an economic developer and one inevitable question: What now? by Christine H. O’Toole photography by Joshua Franzos ramed by a sleek glass elevator descending from Pittsburgh’s Theater Square parking tower, the scene below exudes artsy sophistication. The linden trees on Katz Plaza have leafed out, shading the Faudience at a late-afternoon jazz concert. A calming gurgle of water trickles down a looming Louise Bourgeois sculpture.
