wow, I hope new rendering would make it looks better. :)

[Cliff]

I was sort of expecting alittle more...

[hkskyline]

I thought Foster likes to give bold and innovative designs.

[samsonyuen]

Is this far from central BA? It looks really sparse there.

[Mosaic]

There is nothing interesting about this project.

[mzn]

Actually I think the first rendering is wrong.. you should stick to the maquette.. which is quite innovative IMO

[Accura4Matalan]

Doesnt look very exciting...

[Qatar4Ever]

thats it ??

[Phobos]

I don't see anything special on it...

[CrazyCanuck]

Moderately average, hopefully there is more then meets the eyes.

[The Mad Hatter!!]

not really fair to blame the architect,because it always depends on the client to approve the design and the budget for the project,and every project foster and PARTNERS does isn't going to be the next swissre or hearst,the reason i capitalized the partners is because norman doesn't always design every project if he did he would have 2 work 24/7.

hmmm I was thinking a new tower of Foster but this lowrise thing....not my kind of design :(

[CODEKAGS]

Ke bien por argentina tener obras de arquitectos de la talla de Foster hojala y lo empiezen cuando antes.

??? not impressive for BA

[Andrés]

Definitely not, I hope that, as we get new renderings, we can actually expect something more innovative.
