I agree polishing would help on the columns, but it wouldn't be enough in my opinion. On other RSH buildings I notice they take the painting of columns and other vertical penetrations all the way to the ground. Even if these columns are half steel and half concrete, to me at least its a misstep, though if that's what the architect intended I will eat humble pie. Those columns should be blue in my mind, or even orange, but they are unsightly as grey exposed concrete. I think we have enough exposed concrete from other developers in this city (sadly).

Here is a good example of what I was hoping for kind of:

they usally leave each element as is, the LSE is a steel structure all the way to the ground hence why the colour is unifrom. its not a hybrid, a better example would be the Madird Barajas or Melbourne Metro(Anzac Station) where steel meets concerte, the effect is similar to here. its honest about what it is.

Taken 14 March. Finally! I am assuming that the dashed lines imbedded in the floor are marking previous buildings before the first market went up. Nice touch.

haha from the previous photos I though the dashes lines were scuffs from a rubber wheel from some appliance (like one of the display fridges) that got intermittently stuck as the appliance was moved on the floor
