Someone should e-mail this thread to Diamond (or must I always do these things!).

And a giant T shaped building beside it...

Re an earlier comment of mine...
...are *these* nothing more than bland, unworthy boxes?
Not to me...
Tewder sees designs that are "frivolous/hollow spectacle" as desirable add-ons, but thank goodness Jack Diamond creates buildings that are "practical/functional/utilitarian" and beautiful instead.
A few years from now we'll have work by Diamond, Clewes, and Daoust within a few blocks, creating a new context on the waterfront and taking full advantage of the possibilities that large sites offer. Given their previous work, we have every reason to expect that this new context won't reflect the values Tewder wants Diamond to graft onto his core values.
I am not so obsessed about this particular building since it only a rather tiny component of EBF.
