Now, the community embraces different stuff like this. I personally love this building in any city with Louisville's skyline density or bigger. This same building would look great in Nashville, Jacksonville, OKC, or any similar sized city, plus mega cities like Chicago. I am glad we are getting it, because it will be unreal  I must ask, have you been in a FREE sky museum in your city's tallest building? Have you ever ridden in a diagonal glass elevator? Didn't think so  |
Nope. Never been in one. Probably would be a thrill. My point wasn't really on whether I like it or not. My opinion is totally irrelevant. My point is that I believe Louisville had this design thrust on them and that back in the beginning stages if the citizens themselves had some choices, they would not have picked that one. Now they/you are stuck with it and had better grow to love it. And it does look better at night.
I've seen Humana. My wife's aunt worked in that building for years until she retired. I don't know if she liked it or not. I'm not crazy about it.
I really like Aegon Tower. That one would look good out on our Buckhead skyline.
