Rassurez-moi, il va y avoir un revêtement par dessus la surface bétonnée grise en amont de la pointe vitrée noire ?

Les taggers vont le couvrir assez vite!

The perfect example of how shorter, fatter towers can completely overpower heritage buildings, box them in, and offer poor contrast between the two.  Taller and slender often does a better job at that.  As does the color of the exterior cladding.

"Taller and slender" might do a better job as long as it is not too close to the heritage building, not when it is adjacent.  

As well, form must follow function: a learning institution cannot for the most part be set like an office tower, the reason being that there is more need for large floors where a great number of people can congregate in a single room , and less need for smaller rooms used for specialized workshops and single offices for teachers and administrators.

Of course the HEC building is neither tall nor slender.  I  do not even view it as a "tower".  Now, whether it "overpowers" an heritage building is open for discussion.

Le meilleur exemple à Montréal est la tour KPMG avec la cathédrale Christ Church. Une grande tour de 34 étages qui complémente à merveille l'église sans l'écraser. Un mognon de 20 étages derrière aurait complètement écrasé l'église.

My bad, was referring to BNC and Bell Telephone Building.
