I'm sorry BD. I don't agree with this one. Now I've visited the Cutty Sark recently and sure, the glass should have been frameless. It should have had soft contours to reflect the ocean to which this ship would have sailed through for all those years. I also agree that the entrances seem like a bit of an after-thought. It's a shame really, because I think Grimshaw is capable of much more- the National Space Centre in Leicester is a good example of this. However, the Cutty Sark did go over budget and will continue to cost a significant amount of money to run and preserve. Creating a corporate space below the ship is the solution and it will help make the ship financially self sufficient.

So yes, the Cutty Sark restoration is not perfect, but there is no way in my mind that this entry was capable of beating The Orbit.
