The other good thing about the diagrid system besides giving it an interesting facade, is that the plans will be column-free, and it allows the maximum natural light through the building. i don’t really like the shape of the building. but the diagrid system( diagonal bracing )made it look interesting.

In 20 years or so we will look at this style and wish it was never been build, when we realized it was not the answer sustainability_energy efficient_breeam and so on….I can’t stand it anymore – sometimes only excuses for tasteless architecture.
