    This elevation doesn’t do the building enough justice. My first impression was that it was too repetitive, with four nearly identical stories of windows, but after looking at your other links I was able to appreciate the smaller decorative details as well as just how unique the massing of the facade and towers are. It definitely carries on the Brabantine tradition.

    My ambition is to begin reintroducing gothic design into modern building projects, using modern technology and focusing on sustainability. If I had my way I’d have an entire planned city using Gothic architecture with neoclassical elements.

    I think you’d enjoy Riddarholmskyrkan. It is a medieval church in Stockholm that was damaged by a fire in the 19th century, and the architect designed a new spire of steel that was both industrial and gothic. He received a lot of opposition and critique, but nowadays it is a loved landmark
