    That is a nice building. Very impressive and different.

    Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
    becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
    longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
    tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
    canals to view its modern museum describing
    how it once was?

    It is what Liverpool needs. The director of the philharmonic orchestra stated that the existing hall is too small with rehearsals in a church hall. The hall is booked up for many differing events. He has stated a new opera house should have been built on the docks in a prominent location. The existing hall would still be used.

    One like this hotel, say around Princes Half Tide Dock would be nice. The best location probably would have been where the museum and wedges are, or where the arena is with the branch docks reinstated. but too late for that. There are still some prime locations for such a building.


    We need something like this

    Its not what Liverpool needs. It would look daft amid our buildings.

    It looks like a glammed up shopping arcade. Or a funfair ride.

    to many lights. bad for global warming.

    Those wonderful buildings like the Kings Dock Cosco looking Arena and the multi-floor car parks on the quays. Wow! Just what we need next to the historic Albert Dock.

    Nope. We can build better than giant light bulbs.

    The arena? Cosco? looks nothing like it.

    The Albert Dock in need of a historic Light bulb...HA HA HA...stupid is as stupid does Forrest.
