This is totally like the Red Apple, but it doesn't take any of the risks. Its too pared down and is somehow both light and transparent as well as stumpy. From the limited renderings out there I would have to say I'm not yet a fan. Really good little video though- I'm sure many people will...

I dont know how I feel about marketing campaign. It makes the building, which is actually quite clean and modern from the previous rendering, look like a modern, vertical favela. I can imaging laundry lines flapping in the wind.

...good guesses, but I think you might be off!

At the media event this morning there were quite a few interesting comments. I'm pretty sure the city was expecting something slightly more historically significant, in form at least. Seeing the models really helps to understand which buildings have achieved a harmony with the site and which...
