Church Street Pier located next to the jetty terminal at Weld Quay. In case you still don't know where is it, it is the building that houses QEII (the classy pub and restaurant opposite British Council), ring any bell?
I would like to highlight that this is actually a new building built a few years ago. The point that I'm going to make is that since it is a brand new building, why the architect wanted to design it using colonial architectural language? A building should reflect its significance in the historical context of a particular place. By introducing an outdated architectural style for a brand new building in the 21st century really doesn't make any sense at all. The architect of this building should go back to university and study further before producing more buildings that don't enhance the heritage value of George Town whatsoever! And somemore the colour scheme, yaks!!!
