I like that each pair of buildings has been a bit different, and that the design is evolving over time. When King's Wharf was first proposed I was worried that construction would take place over about 20 years but that a bunch of more or less identical 2005 designs would be built.
I was interested to hear about their criticism of the public realm between buildings. Sounded like part of their pitch for this next chunk of work was a warning not to ignore how the buildings relate to exterior spaces that people will actually use. Looking forward to seeing how this develops.
