Actually, yes. I certainly don't think this building is a Modern building, but I do think there are elements of Modernism, at least some Internationalism, in the design. I realize that the massing is not Miesian or his disciples. lt does harken back to, say Park Avenue in the 50's and 60's?? No?
Maybe what I like is the rectilinear design. Boxes. Would like it more if they shaved off a couple of the floors from the symetrically balanced wings at the base.
