In a perfect world, we'd be able to build architecture that speaks to varying tastes without one subset of the population insisting that everything conform to their personal tastes.

There's a very vocal group who were never going to like a modernist design that strayed this far from convention. For the rest who welcomed it, the issue with the ROM Crystal has always been the cheap cladding they installed. Remember that glorious titanium we were hoping for? That's where they should be spending the money. Instead, they're cluttering the front up with fountains and building stairs/ramp where before neither was needed? This is a case of fixing what doesn't need fixing and not fixing what does need fixing.

Some of those interior renderings look fine at first glance but that's the only positive.
