3. Could work; but lose the blue glass and the overdone skeletonized spandrel motif...IOW, the (not too) odd polygon idea with a snappy façade such as can be found in Melbourne or TO, provided ESB's presence is duly respected.


Obviously they wouldn't recycle those exact proposals for this site, but Foster is well capable, as is Bjark Ingels BIG, which may or may not still be on.
