The pic below isn't bad, though. What city is that?

My view of the vast majority of the designs on here is that in the future, people will be saying, "what were they thinking!"

People already say that when gazing at the sea of Vancouver's insipid, spandrel clad, mullion embellished, seafoam green glazed condos.


In fact, I've personally been known to say that in excess of a dozen times a day.

how tall is this building??? I mean... it has an atrium... could it surpass Burj Al Arab´s 180 meters tall atrium and become the tallest atrium in the world?

Sorry, I can't really say I like any of them; too big, or too bizarre.

I still love La Tour de la Bourse (Place Victoria) in Montreal. It has classic lines that don't really date it much. Sure you can say 'oh but it's from the 60s', yet it still has a timeless elegance to it.

Tried to download an url to it, and copy paste a link to a pick, but for some reason, could not. If anybody is willing to do that, the perhaps discuss: "well, what kind of architecture DO we want in Vancouver anyway?" . . . it might make for a more interesting thread. Just an idea. Thank you

I envision that people of the future will be much more open-minded and appreciative of creativity.
