The Swiss have so many restrictions on buildings that nothing meaningful ever gets approved as everybody and each neighbor and his grandma have to unanimously agree on the design of the last detail of anything proposed > so only the really mediocre stuff ever gets done. So sad.

I really like this. Of course I'm a fan of huge supertalls, but of course it's not always appropriate to build one whenever and wherever you can. This one looks very well balanced.

These are gorgeous. Very Mies van de Rohe... reminiscent of Toronoto's Dominion Centre. They definitely state a very clear message of sturdy, timeless, powerful, conservative, moneyed - very Zurich!
