Can't a building be really tall and beautiful as well?
BTW, BC Tel is a rather old school name. It's called Telus now. And I do love this building, but many others don't.

BC tel they were and BC Tel they shall remain.
Anyway, i agree with you that the new building is a great addition.
In particular, I love the cantilever that is out over the street. What a great way to "un box" the structure.
I hope that the new Melville building at least tries to do something unusual.
Vancouver has enough tall buildings and enough boxes... and especially enough tall boxes.
