Caltrava is exactly who I was envisioning to design such a tower... and his Barcelona communications mast was the exact peice that made me beleive he would be the perfect architecht for the project. His designs would fit in so well with vancouver's aura and its existing architechture that im surprised he hasnt built anything here before. However I doubt he, or any starchitecht for that matter, would be working on this project as I doubt the backers have that kind of money. If it got corporate sponsorship however, it could have the money, and it would make someone like caltrava much more feisable becuase if a company is putting its name behind a structure they want it to be as iconic as posisble.

As for a resturant, as cool as that would be, im sure it wouldnt be possible as this proposal is going to have a tough enough time gettin past the nimbys as it is, let alone with a bulky restaurant on top.
