The generic in context to canary wharf is the uniform office grid and flat surface that is in abundance throughout.  The opulence in context to this is creating deviations of the line, grid and surface, (thin to thick, straight to curved, flat to volumetric and smooth to fragmented) creating varying moments of opulence within a primarily generic environment thus not allowing the opulence to become generic.
