Cool looking building but I can't see how on earth they think something that size that has no other purpose than a visitors attraction is seriously going to work.

And it would also verge on being a hazard to planes heading to Heathrow, and air taxis which will soon no doubt be widely used in London

You aren't allowed to circle the sites of London anymore on a commerical flight as there could be a terrorist on board.

You are however allowed to circle "The council of the year" Hounslow or the farmers fields near Gatwick and Stansted.

Surely a giant tulip belongs in Amsterdam?

Joking aside, that's not such a bad design. I've long thought that a more ziggurat-like or "terraced" approach to multi-storey buildings is the way to go, with gardens or parks on the exterior of each level. It's certainly a damn site safer, assuming each level isn't very tall. The obvious disadvantage is the cost of the land required for the larger base "footprint".

You need to argue why it would be more eco friendly.
