This thing might only look decent from above. But I agree with the above statement, and that's it is important to see 'endless water' from your hotel room along Michigan Ave. With the exception of some joggers and cyclists, no one will want to walk or relax all the way out on this thing.
To top it off the tower is a very unattractive form. Design something inspiring. (like the arch is to St. Louis)
I think the whole concept is also trying to steal the show, especially when they become this massive. I mean look at all the parks and the poor relationship to this project. Smith is just trying to make a statement on this one whether its ugly or beautiful.
