Well buildings in downtown Calgary have to follow certain standards (such as the 'shadow' rule), but then would you want rows and rows of similarly-designed buildings? Would that not get boring or monotonous to you?

Sometimes a good city needs some off-the-wall architecture to add contrast to a downtown landscape.
