The fact that the bankers hall buildings are the 'feather' in someones cap on here is embarassing.

What's the matter with Bankers Hall? I don't mind those towers. Actually, I like them. Hell of a lot nicer to look at than Petro Canada or Telus building.

Yes, but it's not going to be a twin tower. The second tower is only going to be 12 storeys tall.

Construction was originally delayed in 2009, but it is now going ahead.

Architecture is not fashion....you don't have to throw out something just because you did it last season.

Besides...the diagrid is not there just for show, it has a structural purpose.

Yeah, shockingly, if you hire the same architect as those buildings, you get a building designed by the same architect and his influences/style/opinions come through. It'd be much better to have another square box. Maybe we could pick a different shade of gray.

Well, what does the Gherkin remind you of?
