It's a beautiful object and an elegant thing, but in its asphalt setting and as a piece of city it doesn't seem to be contributing much at all besides reminding people of an era and style that ruined a lot of cities. With a different and more urban use and setting, it could definitely contribute to the vitality of the city - more than the glass roofed bdp mall that will probably replace it. Years after Portsmouth's Tricorn centre was demolished the site is still a surface car park and people have begun to realise what they've lost. Hope some clever architect can come up with some brilliant visuals to inspire people. And if not I hope its replacement is simply urban.
