I think we could all agree with you that being adventurous with this design is warranted. At this scale and surrounded by buildings of a much grander scale and style this design becomes an anthill.

Or the responses are disappointed because this design is something that's typical and unchallenging.

Straight lines are beautiful when done well but I don't think many of those who aren't thrilled with this proposal think clean lines would be right for this particular project. I for one love buildings that disrupt the environment and truly transform architecture. This is a speed bump, err anthill amongst architectural giants (and a sweeping lakefront).
I'll be looking forward to the next round of renderings.
