The majority are in favour, which shows, that architect Vinoly designed a notable building.

You make a very strange assumption in your article.
“The majority are in favour, which shows, that architect Vinoly designed a notable building.”
It could be that the majority of people do not understand the context in which this single piece of ‘egotecture’ has been placed and it’s significant impact on the skyline of London, views of St Pauls Cathedral, character and context. That perhaps merely they are judging it as a piece of architecture and not a complete piece of work that integrates and connects with its immediate and wider environment. For those of us familiar with London this is not a fitting piece of architecture at all.
