surg Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Cant quite understand whats so wonderful about a monotomous grey block that will be full of Hallam University students a couple of years after its built! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenH Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 It seems to be a big bland tower of no special significance other than that it is taller than other buildings. It is completely out of place in Sheffield and will spoil Sheffields only real unique feature, that is is a low rise city full of trees and open spaces. If it was in some way interesting, such as aunique shape or design, or it was one the tallest building in the world then it would be different. As it is, we have something fairly insignificant that will stand out like a sore thumb but add nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigflesh Posted June 30, 2006 Author Share Posted June 30, 2006 Cheers Muddy! I feel that it will fit well. Remember theres a carpark and 2 other office blocks going up alongside, so these will form a sort of base cluster atop the hill. From certain perspectives and locations it will certainly look taller. For example, the view from the Train Station, bottom of Howard Street should offer some rewarding views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tricky Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 that looks much better. Better than what? An even taller bland building that would blight an even bigger area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
