That's the plan... and also my favourite part.

They build a new building just near the three tower, so why they have shortened the Granite tower.

^Because they like them squat and cheap.

I like the idea of building atop highways:

...but it is going to ruin the impact of that red pedestrian bridge in the cityscape + a nice angle for photos is gone too

The model of Foster's project is nice. But I wonder if this pattern would look nice on a real skyscraper.
Wouldn't it look boring after a while ?

Actually the height of Air² is 220m from the Dalle, so its really height is 235m. (268m NGF)

I thought you might be interested in those. I took them 3 days ago on my way from Madrid to Amsterdam (via CDG).

From the plane, the skyscrapers of LD still don't rival the Eiffel Tower or the Tour Montparnasse.
The overall impression is still that of an inelegant chaos.

Hopefully, things will change.
