My Two Cents Worth...

It is such a missed opportunity! To embrace a native son who achieved international professional respect, fame and success as a minority. It represents one of the earlier successful examples of aesthetic urban structural gymnastics. Think Citycorp Center, New York. And sports a very specific variation of the curtain walls used on the original World Trade Center Towers. What's not to love?

Apparently below...an even larger edifice not subtly resembling a bad facsimile of an Alexander McQueen boot only a 'professional' would wear, consuming all the oxygen around the original tower, and firmly muting its predecessor. My post it note two cents worth above...

 

My Bad...

So Sorry... A few months ago I commented on an intriguing design; "Move over Venturi", believing that it was a full thought. To my chagrin it was only a brief pause, letting the sky's clear to resume construction again. But what could have been if it was left alone in its previous state?!? Probably untenable in the interior, but what pleasure to pause, look and think about.
