I like that! It looks like some of the buildings we have here in Hamburg Hafencity and Düsseldorf Mediahafen (check them out on Google images). Both projects are decent examples of old warehouse-types mixed with modern architectural styles.
Perhaps studying what other cities are doing could help us to establish a vision for K-W, rather than simply accepting/rejecting/modifying local building proposals, that often have little cohesiveness with the surrounding or the city's overall image.
IF there was a greater vision, developers might have to keep those concepts in mind. Anyways, I don't want to sidetrack this Thread, but it's a worthy discussion to continue elsewhere.
