Rob, your QE3 building posting led me to a search of the architect involved, which turns out to be RMJM. Before getting onboard QE2 for the Round Britain trip, I spent a day in Edinburgh touring the new Parliment Building designed by Spanish architect Enric Miralles in collaboration with local architects RMJM. I went to see this building with an open mind and I have to report that I came a way with a much better appreciation for the building and the intentions of design team. I've had this picture as a screen background for some time on my computer at work. Clearly, someone drew inspiration for some of the building forms from shipbuilding on the Clyde. Interestingly, this profile is only seen from certain angles. For me, this view instantly reminded me of QE2 on the slipway in Clydebank at the shipyard.
I had insisted to several colleages at work who commented on the pic that the designers MUST be QE2 fanatics. Seeing that RMJM drew inspiration for an apartment building from the QE2 funnel, I think they were at it again here right down to the supports holding the ship in place.
