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
