So essentially they’ve ended up with just another energy sapping, monolithic building that turns it back on the streetscape and ignores interactive public spaces? At least it has some windows I guess…

It is a tremendous waste of energy and money. Is it shown as an example of what should not to be done in this place? If yes I agree, it is a very dry, aggressive and void of any value construction. Looks like the burning OMA’s CCTV Tower in Beijing …last phase.

To be honest i prefer it the way it was in the model.. The red is too dominating of the eye.. and ruins it.. in my opinion. I’ve been there before and i think is a bad idea.. but that’s just my opinion.

Indoor malls are still being built?

Developer: Let’s build a mall.
Architect: Can we do something more urban and interesting?
Developer: No.
Architect: Can I at least come up with some overriding concept for its aesthetics so that it can form the shape of the building?
Developer: I guess so.
Architect: There I’ve done it. This diagram will show…
Developer: I LOVE IT LET’S BUILD IT.
Architect: But… its just a diagram.
Developer: Done. What do you think?
Architect: (scratches head)
