I could see the tower for Tokyo, and the long, low-rise building being integrated architecturally in Vancouver quite well. However, IMO, the big Yongsan tower project or such would bee to overwhelming and rather grotesque for crisp-and-understated Vancouver.

Of course! That's the answer I never thought of! But no, not Burnaby, please, not even Metrotown, but Surrey first pick YESSS, ....or maybe Mississauga

Would love to see stuff like Kranhaus in the False creek flats... though given how Central is turning out, I don't have high hopes for any kind of avante-garde massing
