Bye bye Japanese villlage.
I also like this project alot, although it seems to have that TD Canada Trust tower feel I think it doesn't hurt if another tower went up with similar features as the existing except updated to 2006 standards of architectural taste.

Those two vertical elements at the front will be the dominant feature of the building. It will bring some of the flashyness of Shanghai to a city like ours.
Multicolored LED tubes will be on both vertical elements starting from the mechanical floor making its way 140m to the very top. The spire is actually a light box or a lantern as some refer. The winter garden inside will also be very high quality and nice including reflecting pools and lots of plants.

Its one of my favorite projects after BOw.
