I think alsop's original vision was much clearer than the result. I heard the developers took over, and re-designed a lot of this shortly after construction started.

The difference is that Alsop hasn't extruded his windows, they're cheaply done subtractions from the building envelope. I would suggest that the "box of tricks" idea is a bit of architectural "Positivspeak" intended to put an intellectual spin on the reliance on a dumb envelope to arrange a reasonably complex program. To be fair,however, I quite like the eclecticism of the interior - I can imagine the general public getting quite amped by those spaces. It looks a lot like the sort of low-budget aesthetic public buildings produced by ARM in my hometown Melbourne. ooh I like that Tokyo facade.
