Here's proposal from the 1980s/90s for the site of the Best Buy/Winners Building.
Plans are limited by the Granville Bridge view cone and by the L-shaped alley behind Vancouver Centre (preventing easy tour bus access)

Good god, I am glad those never got built. The 80's and 90's were not nice to Vancouver's Urban Design. Canadian PostModernism is some of the worst Architecture I have ever seen and it is present in just about every city in the country.
