Vancouver more than any other city seems to have a constant stream of ex-bureaucrats stamping their feet over current decision-making. Segal's piece is just an overly verbose and unnecessarily snotty "I don't like it", which is a position he is entitled to hold but not one he can present as an evident truth as he has attempted to do here. Suggesting that the numerous people who have praised this design, the full theatre audience who seemed won over by the concept, are lying for the sake of supporting the VAG is just bizarre.

Frankly, this design is underwhelming. It needs to be a dynamic, sculptural piece unto its own, provoking debate about architecture and art.

Ironic. By this metric this proposal is one of the best the city has ever seen.
