Just because it's clad with silver, doesn't make it right. A worthy contender for abominatrium of the year.

This looks an exciting modernisation from the stalinist grey concrete block which housed the trade unionists - interesting retention of red as a theme though - by coincidence or a subtle design statement!
This area, currently an anonymous block of dark corridors, along with Torphicen Street (on the corner of which sits our office at CBC House) and their link roads is traffic dominated and could benefit hugely from a quality design team casting its eye to link the extending EICC and the soon to be revamped Haymarket Station - any news or takers?
