@SpongeG: sorry man, but those look too Taipeiesque for me.

@Hed Kandi: More appropriate for Vancouver perhaps, but only when the city gets much bigger than it is now.

Very retro. Has elements that reminds me of a rec centre west of Westmount in Edmonton, which I think was a Cardinal design.

You would be referring to the Peter Hemingway Centre designed by award winning architect, Peter Hemingway.

Some of the smaller designs might work for concert halls, theatres, and so forth. However the big, fluted / chiseled buildings are too "Jetsons" for me.

Hed, I really go for the first two of the five. #3 I find ugly and a bit bizarre, #4 seems colourful, airy, and upbeat. #5 is kind of a strange light sculpture, rather "special effex" in character, suitable for somewhere perhaps, but not the CBD or West End.
