There were some discussions of this in either the General Development or Maindy Campus threads.

Although I would quite like the building on its own, it doesn't look quite right to me in all these renders. It feels too close to the pavement, and too large relative to the trees and the buildings opposite. I would prefer it were set back a bit further - if its 40 metres deep, just knock 4 metres off it.

too close to the pavement he says? there is no pavement!!!!

totally agree it should be set back somewhat. the colonnade on CSQ works well because it is set back... its a juxtaposition of outside and in, an oxymoron if you like. this is neither
