Just give me good individual buildings and let the city develop it's image organically. I don't want any one building or structure to stand out more than the others.

Signature buildings or bridges can be really beautiful.... I hear what you are saying about not wanting to have a gigantic eye-sore associated with our city because someone is trying too hard... but I'd love something that sets us apart (in a magnificent way) by someone really talented... I'd like a building like Tower Verre or something... doesn't have to be super tall, just really great. Like the Sydney Opera house... something truly unique.
