Whoever was responsible for approving this monstrosity should be held accountable for its huge overruns in time, money and secrecy. The people of Scotland will be paying for this nightmare for generations. It is unappealing, out-of-place, a nasty eyesore amongst buildings that have beauty, majesty, and class, characteristics nowhere to be found in this excuse of "award winning architecture". The heart cries out in disbelief, anger, and sadness..

Very ugly building. Edinburgh has some beautiful architecture, how did this monstrosity ever be allowed to be built. Shame Shame Shame

This is what happens when the price of whiskey get too cheap.

Your video is great and well done. But this bruilding is really strange. Looks more like an art project. I think I would be too distracted just being inside the building - let alone trying to function on serious issues. I have been wondering what it looked like inside. Now I know. Strange. Very strange.

What matters is what they do inside (we have beautiful state and federal buildings here in the USA, can't brag about what they have done inside). Bamboo? In Scotland? Have any panda bears to go with that?

@foreverspring I couldn`t agree more with you.It looks like cheap post-war housing blocks with bits of bamboo attached to give it "character".Perhaps it was designed with the idea of the graffitti to come?
