Architecture: ...and look what they turned down!



This is actually what the same architect (as the one below) , Gert Wingårdh, first came up with! But the the politicians in Stockholm are just such a bunch of cowards! They thought it was just too spaced out and turned it down! So they chose to erect a building that is plain, blends in and will probably simply disappear... (sigh!)

The new Landmark at Norra Bantorget.

Look! The front will be in glass. How progressive. Never, ever seen it before.
