Something that stands out and looks the business with LED lightning should do the trick....

Maybe Leeds's version of the Gerchin in London could go there??

Leave it alone! It can only be ruined by sub-standard urban design from architects with no emotional investment in Leeds.

Then why not get someone on here to design it? Im sure we have enough people that can do the architecture? The rest of us could put forward ideas, feedback, and even vote on the one we want to submit if we have more than one idea?

Could be quite fun?

Sent the link around the office yesterday........
was told it would have to be an out of hours job if we fancy doing it

^ Yes, my friend just showed it to me - it looks rather interesting. And of course it's nice to see Leeds featured on dezeen

If that gets built I will cry! Its the sort of thing that 10 years down the line you wish was not built. Such a lovely location needs something simple and elegant with a skybar on top.

cmj · February 22nd, 2010, 11:08 AM

It looks bloody awful, and hideously out of place!

di Livio · February 22nd, 2010, 02:23 PM

I like it! But I still worry that 36 the Calls and Warehouse Hill will undermine the character of the riverside through overdevelopment.

Derrv · February 22nd, 2010, 04:36 PM

That is horrible. It looks like someone was playing tetris(not very well!) whilst they should have been designing a building.

Alexi Lalas · February 22nd, 2010, 06:45 PM

I'm with Di Livio, I like it. We're always asking for someone to design something unique for Leeds and so long as it is built in the right materials then I think that it will work in its surroundings.

It's a 'love it or hate it' design so I can understand those who disagree.

Gherkin · February 23rd, 2010, 12:30 AM

I've rummaged around and this dezeen article is pointless. The architect who designed this either didn't enter the calls competition or didn't reach the final group of architects - i.e. it wont be built; and we've known this for some time (october)!

To be fair, the dezeen article does say "The design is an entry for the 36 The Calls architectural competition, but has not been shortlisted."

Gherkin · February 23rd, 2010, 01:14 AM

Curious then as to why it was the featured article on dezeen when it isn't even a real project. I might try and get some of my work featured on there!

It's also very ugly when viewed from the road

That was my first thought, what were they thinking!?

That is, quite honestly, ghastly.

I can't believe they even bothered. A joke.

Is that a serious design?

Is there anything else like this in the UK? If not, get it built
