I like the analogy, but I'd rather have at least Lebron James' torso than a full cow on my court. I agree it is very poorly integrated. I wish parts of the glass section were woven into the parking podium. I don't actually hate the design of the podium and think the elevator section is really cool. I just wish it was like 5 floors of parking and 20 of the glass portion. What the hell? There's no height restriction, if you're going to put in 12+ levels of parking at least double the amount of office floors. The problem with this building is not the design of either component, it's the lopsided proportion. I guess the reason I don't hate this is because it totally could have been another generic glass box. At least this is different, right?
