Don't know, but our city councillor said people should be happy to have as much sunlight as possible!

"A cylinder of void rises seven storeys"

(INSPIRED BY AN OLD GASWORKS?)

"The form, say its architects, Herzog and de Meuron, is inspired by the university’s freestanding monuments such as the baroque Radcliffe Camera, but the material is deliberately not of its context, nothing like the neoclassical stone ex-chapel to one side, or the Oxford University Press building, also stone and classical, opposite, or the modest houses of the surrounding streets. The material is high-class curtain walling, a variant of a type seen everywhere.... It creates a privileged inner life wrapped in a distancing exterior."
