With many developments opinion is divided. With this development, I've yet to meet a member of the public who is not saddened by the dwarfing of our greatest buildings. If this is the case then surely there must be way to stop and renegotiate.

When there is so much good architecture around in other cities, replacing one eyesore with another is a tragic waste of money. This eyesore sits across from the second largest granite building in the world and hides Provost Skene's House. It's a shame but I suppose it is just another fait accompli from ACC..

It's an enormous eyesore. Poor Provost Skene's House is completely dwarfed and it looks as though it will only be visible to people sitting in some of the offices. How is this a project for the people of Aberdeen? There WAS another option -- it involved, if i recall aright, grassy spaces, trees, cafes, and arts facilities. But it has been buried.
