I don't like it. It looks like something from Star Trek. The colonial designs are more suited to our island life. First of all when you are erecting these big structures you should have a large piece of property so that the building can be well away from the street. At the moment I don't see any of the downtown areas having that kind of land space. More importantly down town is already congested and without room to move. A building of this size means that people, cars and more traffic are coming to the jammed up space. Come on people we need to stop thinking for one moment in time. If we don't do something radical within twenty years we won't have space to move. Our thoughts need to be based on moving away from the broken city that has been abandoned. People for whatever reason are not interested in Bay Street as we knew it to be in the 50s and 60s......Let's stop validating ourselves by looking at Australia and New York City and thinking we are more than simply because we can erect big buildings. In fact if we would use our brains we will see that we really don't need buildings to run our offices. Offices are being run from smart phones and laptops.
