In a way awarding Strata this award is a real shot in a foot. Finally bdonline have finally shown that the award is a total farce. Strata is one of the finest skyscrapers built in europe in the last few years and adds greatly to the London skyline, particularly when viewed south from St Pauls. Even more of a crime is the suggestion that it in some way detracts from the area. It's in Elephant and Castle for Christ sake! It will be part of a much wider development, and if it wern't for the damn site lines in london, there would have been a much larger cluster of skyscrapers in the area. However much like those who chose and run this award, there are people in this country who can't see past their own backward thinking and pompus arrogance, detesting anything that is forward thinking and innovative particularly when it is in their own backyard. If you have a problem with skyscrapers and modern design, then I suggest you go and move out of the city, particularly one as large as London and commute to work so you can't be offended at progress.
