Im with Lindy lou on this one.I like the look of everything else mind you & i think it would be a real asset to have a canal running through there as there is definatly a rennaisance currently with respect to canals across the country as people are seeing the potential benefits both socially & enviromentally.
I hope you will take my comments with a pinch of salt particularly as iam not from your neck of the woods but i would rather give you my honest opinion (for what its worth) i just hope this isnt the final design,although i'm sure it will have its fans,but i wouldn't be a fan of it.
Hope i havn't muddied the waters too much folks.
It's not the greatest design in the World Terry but what this picture doesn't really show is that the building itself is made from the finest marble and is made to reflect the sun so it will always look different according to the sunset.It will cost £65 million which is more than double the cost of the imperial war museum so you can see it's not done on the cheap and it has the added bonus of the canal running beneath it.The giant window at the end will frame the three graces also so that should be an amazing site,one minute your looking at the exhibits the next you'll have this view,I think everyone will come to love this but we'll have a couple of years to prove my point,I love it.
