HT and groups like them need to embrace modern design like Purdy`s Wharf, 1801 Hollis, UG towers etc. These modern buildings add great diversity and are generally accepted by the masses. Just look at the postcards of only Purdy's buildings. Where the gray area lies, IMO, is when developers try to pass buildings such as the Roy and Discovery Centre off as modern design. These proposals fall far short of Purdy's or UG Texpark towers. I think in cases like this the developer should beef up the modern design or go with a Dominion Public Building look with a modern twist. The Alexandra is one design that leans in this direction.
