what is the point here? does not seem very interesting. perhaps something special with the CW detail?
this project is stopped because of fiancial problems as far as i now.
beside that i am not the biggest friend of littering up the pardaugava side of riga with such a
boring and already seen architecture!
Am I the only one that think this project as a Tiny Toon version of the Petronas Towers?
Anyway, if I am the only one, I still think this looks old and boring and unsophisticated (if that is a word) and… many baaaad things.
That’s all I wanted to say about it
this is far away from looking like petronas tower.. why?.. only because its two linked towers?
