Any building not done well can destroy a really wonderful environment. I hope this one ends up adding something. I promise to get shots of it finished so you can see its placement and impact on the rest of the city. I hope we all like it!Moving with Mitchellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12954028272162285597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-14122102109766862972012-08-15T20:38:39.625+02:002012-08-15T20:38:39.625+02:00I hope Sevilla doesn't build too many skyscrap...I hope Sevilla doesn't build too many skyscrapers.

However, we do wonder how easily it will eventually sit in the townscape where it will clearly tower above everything else. One thing that we think is unsuccessful in London along the Thames is the mismatch of scale of the buildings and therefore a lack of overall integrity. For us, that is where the Danube panorama in Budapest scores with all the buildings of a similar scale. It will be most interesting to see how it all works out.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2367834014770669778.post-33075329630061619462012-08-14T17:13:18.728+02:002012-08-14T17:13:18.728+02:00Cool.
