It reminds me of these atrocities that were built ~50 years ago: https://maps.app.goo.gl/qRapGf638hvSBXkU9. How this was approved in a quaint residential neighbourhood is just beyond me. Obviously the site of the Bond proposal is a totally different situation, I just happen to pass this Grosvenor building almost daily and it kills me every time.
I do have to say I like the shape of the Bond tower and the criss-crossing beams; the whole thing is very sculptural and it would definitely look cool standing out in that wasteland of parking lots there. I would like to see a rendering direct on from the sideview tho. That's a lot of blank wall. |
