If we allow that, then we shouldn't complain with 101 centre now should we? For that matter, with all the construction confined in the CBD core, let's wait as long as we can building out and up. Once it is finished, most business will be gone because the construction has caused them their livelihoods due to lack of accessibility and people staying clear.
 
I'm sure you have my buddy, and I agree there are many alternatives that could be applied. The problem is, some developer will take advantage of that like Mr. Arlington Singh and that could be detrimental is all I'm saying; it definitely makes it difficult for really great, honest and ambitious developers...
 
Good article - I like how they let Dub explain some of the delays and frustrations. Goes to show that he isn't slow simply because it is him involved. You have to feel bad for the guy to have that generalization applied based on some of the slow progress in the projects he has been involved with.

I'll give Dub credit for taking on some ambitious projects over the years. He knows what he wants out of a project and doesn't settle even if the end result takes a little longer.

It is sad as I do respectfully a man that ignited my deep passionate for architecture designing (non career wise). Lets hope he'll rebound, learned from this and adapt. Afterall, his city hall design is being regurgitated out east to south...

They are a functional requirement for most as it is often the only light well for the entire floor due to a shoebox design and in many cases no rear exterior wall (although it looks like these might have rear access).
