The design of this structure did not consider the context in terms of streetscape. The design is there to make a statement and I think it's quite a radical approach. The stucture has no curves only straight & diagonal stark lines unlike the buildings in its surroundings. The use of materials are very new and modern unlike the buildings/churches along side which are very soft, earthy materials. There was no consideration for the heritage buildings but this may be due to the symbolic message that the structure is trying to convey.
Interesting! How would you describe the design approach in terms of the issue of HERITAGE?
