I wouldn't put him in the same category as KPF.
I'm still amazed as to how Anthem were able to get them for Station Square #5

They paid. Any big architect will take on nearly any role if they are given a decent budget and their fee.

I'm sure this would not be the case if viewcones never existed in the first place, i.e. tall towers would be confined to the downtown area only. Hence the irony.

The viewcones were never meant to preserve views from random locations (or Burnaby
) so no... its not ironic.
