The finished building looks excellent. Would those judges prefer yet another glass box on the skyline? This cup now seems to be more about their egos than anything else, and publicity for BD in other parts of the media that love to slag off architecture. Forget the actual environmental reasons for the turbines, the crown of this building provides a modern interpretation of London's old domes and spires. Why is something out of a James Bond sequence necessarily a bad thing? It's probably just what E&C needs to kick start it's revival. The tower acts as a sign post to the area now, and a very interesting sign post at that.
The judges should be ashamed of themselves. This has really annoyed me, especially when there are far more worthy candidates to complain about.
