The original Foster diamond design as mentioned before by most non bots is the best architecturally and respects the monument below. At 2.2 MSF it has larger floor plates to meet the demands of a financial firm like American Express.
To say it's outdated is absolutely silly as it does have an outdoor podium at its base for its tenants. That's like saying one world trade center and the rest of the complex at Hudson yards are outdated because they don't have terraces with trees on it which as we've noted before is an outdated trend which we hope goes away soon.
