Rating: Five stars. fantastic incarnation of postmodernism in architecture. Stirling was a genius in playing with eclecticism.

Rating: One star. Unedible London architectural nightmare. Even in the so-called "underdeveloped" countries we still have enough criteria not to allow such horrors standing in the middle of the city centre.

Rating: One star. It looks like a hideous cake. Ridiculous piece of architecture that is so out of keeping with its surroundings.

Rating: Four stars. Interesting use of lines, curves, symmetry and perspective.This building has character and as it is clearly emotive should be considered art.

Rating: One star. There is no any relation to the former building. This is just a stupid desire of a tasteless nouveau riche to be remembered.There was just the only ensemble in the City and there is no one today.Why do they think it is modern? It's a day before yesterday.

After I have found out the whole truth about this "development" I decided never enter it again. It is one of the most shameful pages pf the British Architecture. Palumbo together with Sterling succeeded to devastate the City worse than any luftwaffe. It is amazing how ruthless the architect proved to be. Did he want this Herostratic fame? I am afraid that in 200 years this barbarian action would be the only reason to recall his name.
