So that soulless people can look at other soulless pieces of glass. Guardian |

What kind of loony moves to the centre of a city if they object to construction?
:P

Truly quite impressively hideous. And what does "the 305-metre tower" mean anyway?

Truly quite impressively hideous. And what does "the 305-metre tower" mean anyway? I really like what they're doing to the City. Three distinct eras rubbing shoulders - ancient, post-fire, modern. So you can have the history of a very old church next to the grandeur of the former Corn Exchange or St Paul's Cathedral next to the ultra-modernity of a glass and steel skyscraper. It fascinatingly shows how cities have completely changed in character as materials science has developed. It's a really boring subject but unbelievably influential on our lives, and a walk around the City shows that incredibly clearly. |

There's a place for modern architecture - nobody would say things should be completely static. I just think this particular design is terrible. It puts me in mind of something but I can't put my finger on it.

All modern architecture seems to be glass obsessed, a fashion I personally hate. Everything has to make a statement rather than fitting in naturally with its surroundings.

Glass ensures maximum use of natural light, which cuts down on electricity consumption. Also, much nicer on the inside that sitting in a dingy, neon-lit space. |

I like London but it sure does have strange buildings. I like the cheese grater but the walkie-talkie is very odd.
Bold designs are awesome but I think Moscow does it better... which has my favorite European skyline.
We have a few bold designs going up in my city as well including a "jenga" style on a couple of high-rises.
