Should Liverpool build 'L.A.' type Skyscrapers?

[Waterways]

Tallest LA building.

The Citigroup Building is what we do not want. The others are fine.

If you like Nottingham go live there.

Who Likes Nottingham? I never said I did. I like Liverpool, As it is thank you very much. Without silly ideas from goons who live in Watford.

Try to keep up soft lad.

The others are horrible.

Whats this we? You live in Watford. Go and wreck that place.

I do not live in Watford and would like to wreck it.

That is what you aspire to. Watford should suit you as well.

Nope Liverpool suits me. As it is. Without daft Towers.

I don't like daft towers either. I like these:

Then you deffo like daft towers. They would look stupid here.

They would add value giving world-wide notoriety. Or we could be like Nottingham, Leeds or Leicester, your preferred boring dross type of cities. I prefer interesting, dynamic and exciting cities with bold, quality, advanced architecture and engineering. That is the route the city should go.

Liverpool is ideal for advanced architecture. Even having a tower in the river - this would set the city apart..

those towers in the pics are stunning tho' they have the wow factor !

They would look silly in Liverpool.

What we have right now clearly does not look silly giving a nice skyline, with quality, real tall buildings much needed value would be added: architecturally and economically.


We need more like this but taller.

[Spike]

Ugliness would be added.

Lindylou and Waterways and whoever else... What about the emergency factor I brought up??? Any thoughts if you live up on the top floor..... Water sprinklers would surely kill your million dollar interiors...

Also, you are talking here, about million dollar flats... YES, million dollars... What average man can afford such..?? A lot would remain vacant.. It seems distastful to make such buildings so so high, and only a few can afford to live in them... Sounds like it would bring in maybe.....the oil barrons of Dubai??? Uh... do you really need all that??? Don't think so..

If you want to inprove on the waterfront.. Put in nice cafes...where people can go.. average man and all.. Make it thrive in giving jobs to the locals.. Nice looking store fronts.. Those high spirals are not, (my opinion) saying Liverpool...

What do people come to Liverpool for...????? I will tell you.... The Beatles for a large part!! And the pub atmosphere and the look of how it looked in 2002... YEP.. thats' my opinion... Take away that charm... and well.........BIG GLASS structures.. are dangerous, not practical for the average joe.. and well... UGLY...for Liverpool...

This is too much ... Moderization is one thing.. But, make it fit with the history too... I speak of Hawaii.. Our architecture does have a couple of high rises... but, done tastefully... and I must add.. most of downtown Honolulu.. is being refurbished like the old 1800 buildings... The look is what captures the fantasy....

Well said NL And some great ideas you have ome up with.
