1) The Ancients who build such things are more advanced than this designer! They are not improving upon the long lasting functional green structure. It also doesn't look like a pile of perpendicular steel and glass garbage. The man cutting grass in the sky is especially foolish; fine for some artwork but foolish outside that. I never was a fan of the busy style of trying to copy the formless patternless garbage heap. (and making it light up doesn't trick me; anything that sparkles appeals to our fish genes…I won't swallow the bait.)

2) Ancient structure defaced and destroyed (oh but we are using the crushed rubble as aggregate!) for a short-term structure! In 50-100 years it'll all get torn down. The Ancient structure should be preserved out of respect; this is like a death sentence or a really expensive remodel for the grandchildren. It sure doesn't look like they are using the old structure to me; just using the rubble pile in the cement mix.

Say, lets tear down The Colosseum and pay homage to its iconic shape with some latex paint on the new plastic stadium!

3) Totally impractical over exposed design; maintenance and storm issues abound. That structure is going to suck up wind its so bad. Seriously? waist high glass guard rails?? Sorry but the lawn mower floor just can't get out of my mind… my mower ejects things at high speed out the right side… which do not hit glass guard rails and the plot of grass doesn't cost me ten of thousand+ dollars per year. a green roof does something; just wasting space for grass in a garden is only green in color.

4) Where is the ugly parking lot? The new road leading up to it? How long will the surrounding land remain nice if you are starting out by killing the signature landmark?
