Another article on the competition result. Jonathan Glancey (The Guardian) doesn't seem to have much to say about the winning design. (perhaps because it was the less inspiring but more feasible and on budget option)
sour grapes. if, in fact, the hopkins design would have proved to be cheaper over the life of the building, then they failed to convince the BAS and have no one to blame but themselves for that. you gotta sell it.
