Hong Kong Govt HQ

Check out the design proposals for the new Hong Kong Government HQ.. It's gonna add a new dimension to the HK skyline..What do you reckon?

Design A: Looks stunning at first sight.. But...uncanny resemblence to the following.. lacks originality in that sense..
The new CCTV Complex in Beijing

La Grande Arche in Paris

Design B: Well.. Maybe there's a reason why it's Design 'B'.. B for BORING..Design C: Nothing Spectacular...

Design D: As the saying goes, Saving the best for the last.. the distinct shape of the Chinese Junk is an appropriate design for the Govt HQ, symbolic of Hong Kong.. At least you can instantly relate the design to HK.. and not just any other building in NY, London or any other city.. some critics commented that this design lacked a corporate feel to it though.. Hmm. But I still think it's the best design.. together with the innovative waterfront landscaping
