Make that 7,992 thumbs up.

So it didn't work out then?
Zing!

Yeah. And you wouldn't want to put decorative features on a building, because that's bad.
I'm off to tear down Gothic cathedrals. Will send "before" and "after" postcards to you all.

It seems to me that steel construction is a lot more than cosmetic & the design is just a box, so strong, maybe with an emergency role?
This morning on the radio they talked about actual functions beside the aesthetic (which is fine by me on its own), namely security and glare reduction.
Why not build a lovely golden sand artificial beach backed by landscaped gardens

Something that nobody I've read has commented on about the 2025 taskforce report is that since it proposes to raise our income to the level of Australia by drastically reducing our social spending, unless they plan somehow to force Australia to do the same, it will mean that out of that income we'll have to pay for things that Australians get for free, so in real terms we wouldn't catch up at all. (Quite aside from the broader social ramifications of that particular neoliberal recipe, obviously.)
