Folks the beauty of this building's top was lost wayyyyy before the spire issue, when whomever (rolleyes), decided/allowed the placement of a circular broadcasting ring atop a rectangular building and roof (gag). That's the biggest travesty of this project.

Anyone who went to a decent design or architecture school would have recognized that as major mistake creating too much visual conflict and failure to provide a cohesive form. At least they should have place the broadcasting structure as a square base with a trapezoid profile or an asymmetrical placement of the spire such as on the BOA building.
