I agree with heteromeles. Iconic architecture should be part of the overall aesthetic and function of the place -- integrated into its use(s) for the benefit of the public. This thing is just another (giant) "sore thumb" piece of public art, cluttering up the waterfront. Why can't we have art/architecture that is complimentary with the landscape and the surroundings, rather than junking it up?
