Architecture and interior design thread

I actually quite like it too, but not the lorries that were used to build it, especially during that mammouth concrete pour.

What interests me more than the building itself though are the wider implications:

What is the social and economical impact on the surrounding area?
Will it create local jobs?
Could it put local businesses out of business? Or will it provide customers for local businesses?
How much bike parking will be provided?
Etc.

For one the area will get even duller, and more homogenised. Even more Ruperts and Cecils wearing jumpers around the shoulder like what you see on Bermondsey Street. It'll become more expensive overall- I guess it'll take London that bit closer to Paris where on the rich can afford to live.
I still lament the loss of Shunt to make way this heap of shiny shit- I'm bitter.
