Another problem with buildings as stylish as these is that they will look dated in 10 years. I certainly don't want city buildings to be rebuilt every 10 years, just to keep up with fashion trends.

I mean, take a look at all the "hip" public libraries that were built in the 70s, they look ancient, where as some office buildings build in the same period look resonably ok. The interior needs to be re-done, but not the exterior.
