Thanks for the response Kim, and thanks for taking the time to show us your model and plans last night. I think 52m for your structure and 64m for the BSI building shows the enormous scale of the octopus - more similar to the BSI building than the size of a normal advertising hoarding. Apologies if I was 12m out. I find your argument that ' the primary objective of the current proposal is to provide a gateway landmark at a key juncture on the most important route into one of the world's greatest capital cities.' rather hard to swallow. If you were looking for a gateway landmark you would have commisioned an artist to produce a design such as the angel of the north or the giant horse of ebbfleet! I do think the proposed structure is interesting - but it is a giant electronic advertising hoarding. You could include a community/art element if you gave over some of the time or one of the screens to say video art or community use. Please email me a better picture and I'll include it on our website |
