swansongtoo Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 (edited) Not sure where to post this but wanted to put it somewhere -- this new proposed London, England tower looks amazing. http://www.montrealgazette.com/business/Canadian+firm+involved+London+cheesegrater+building+construction/3723950/story.html Edited October 26, 2010 by swansongtoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTLskyline Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I'm personally not a big fan of towers in historic European cities. Towers belong in North America or Asia. But Europe should be distinctive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesseps Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Interesting design. I just don't see it in London though. Only place it would probably fit in, would be NY or San Francisco. Actually. It would be interesting, if there was a building like that in Ottawa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisDVD Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Le fameux Cheesegrater... c'est le projet de Londres qui m'intérresse le plus... et ce n'est pas vraiment dans un centre super historique, The City a plusieurs gratte-ciels, dont le 'Pickle'. Les londeniens sont fameux pour bien mélanger le vieux avec le nouveau... et vous savez, les Europeans aiment bien être flyer et mélanger les choses... Moi je crois que les gratte-ciels on leur place en Europe... La Défense est une bonne exemple d'un quartier moderne qui ne détruit pas Paris intra muros. Les Européans ont bien besoin de gratte ciels et ne peux pas les éviter parce que on aime leur vieux look... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFrosty Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Effectivement, La Défense est un exemple parfait de comment une ville européenne peut se développer sans scraper son patrimoine historique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
