I like the exposed structure about two-thirds of the way up, where it most likely transitions to the condos from the office plates. Everybody keeps complaining about our boxes here and then a number of them complain about this feature too.
I see a resemblance to Transamerica due to the base, as said by some of my fellow forumers. Also, the diagonal steel supporting structures on the lower deck of the Bay Bridge come to mind. I see the dividing segment in the tower as the housing for wind turbines as I dont really see where else they could go. One thing that makes me somewhat happy is the fact that it wont have a flat roof. The roof appears to take a lesson from nearby Millenium Tower, with a spire added as a bonus.
