richheap Present can't quell man's misery at working in same middle management role for last 14 years.
richheap Unless they really want a 70-storey building and have only submitted a taller plan in the knowledge they'll get argued down? I'm not saying this is happening, by the way. But it wouldn't be unheard...
richheap This is the problem with clustering skyscrapers near each other: they all end up merging into one blob of glass and metal. The result can be less than the sum of its parts.Even so, I'm not sure London's...
Hazel So this is a smart building and it can count... Now what?

Nicole Ferraro I know this is a discussion about office towers, but I have to say that there are some ultra-luxury buildings popping up in New York that I find pretty outrageous. I read an article in The New York...
Simon Hersom St Pancras makes me proud to be a Londoner, especially when you contrast it with the awful Gare du Nord at the other end of the line. It's more than a railway station, it has become a destination...
richheap "Sorry sir, but there's no place for appreciating beauty within the City of London."
richheap Cathedrals were showpieces, but one big difference is that they were free for people to go in. By contrast, you can't go to the top of most of these skyscrapers unless you pay a lot of cash...
kq4ym What's tasteful, useful, and needed are all up for debate. Obviously, someone is footing the bills for the iconic building. It may be an ego move, but weren't European Cathedrals in a sense "show...
