I would perhaps suggest the Crown Plaza Hotel predates the 'Leeds Look'. Mtaylor848 (talk) 23:36, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Further more, would Quarry House be 'Leeds Look' (it hardly set out to blend in). I would say the Leeds Look came about in the mid/late 1990s and finished in the early 2000s, when architects demanded everything was built out of aluminium and was twenty storeys higher than it had perviously been (on the whole I would say it was short lived, although very much dominated its slot of about eight years). Also the Yorkshire Bank buildings don't really fit this description. Mtaylor848 (talk) 23:55, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't agree with anything in this article you'll have to argue with the sources quoted as these people know more about this sort of thing than I do! The "Leeds Look" is a particular style of architecture which is apparently, according to the sources, peculiar to Leeds. I would suggest that aluminium skyscrapers can be found in any major city in the UK. EricPolymath (talk) 09:10, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
