The link is the beacon.. I'm British and I made the link within 10 seconds of seeing the building. I'm no Architect but I know what I like and I like it.
And whoever said:
What message do they want to send, creating yet another memorial for a battle that happened 60 years ago?
Seriously..?
The message is never forget the young men who made it possible for you to dislike stuff without it getting you killed. Currently in the UK the only static
BoB memorial is a little statue of a pilot which is a litttle understated to say the least. If you happen to like it or not is besides the point, it's what it represents that's the important bit. But the way this forum is going at the moment means it was only a matter of time before it started getting all high brow and spikey.
The thing with eurpoean history is, we've got loads of it, all over the show. So by building something modern we're just adding to it not detracting from it.
I love the way people get so offended by modern buildings, it must really hurt their eyes or something when they see UGLY because they really don't like it.
It's like 'when nerds attack' in here sometimes
