Thanks Adam.

Personally, I think most monuments built are vanity projects. The legacy to show the power that one yields over a city at a particular point in time. ;-)

Perhaps the English are being more critical now than ever, following the expenses scandal of the politicians and given the climate of a recession, no tax payers want their hard earned money to be spent on what they perceive as frivolous and unnecessary expenditure. And the picture does look bad – I hope the winning design is not that one!

I enjoy the links you put up on here each week. It’s a nicely chosen selection.

It’s funny that everyone describes this proposed tower in London as a vanity project then compares it to the Eiffel tower. Does this mean that Gustav’s tower was the ultimate vanity project? At the same time, with the amount of tourists and money it has attracted over the years, and the visual identity it has brought to the city, I guess no-one would begrudge it to him today. Having said that, the pictures for Boris Johnson’s tower in London do look particularly bad.
