It took me a sec because of the large building on the right, but I like the new architecture popping up from the buildings on the left.

You found a very beautifull buildings the quality of shot is also well done but composition is bit heavy...all is bit to left and feels like falling. Maybe sould play bit more with angles.

I think you could've adjusted the angle so everything wouldn't be so tilted.
