What I was saying is there are thousands of ways to make a building distinctive and iconic, even a 600 footer, and the architect had to stick to the most prosaic and awkward one - 3 nearly identical boxes stacked one on top of anther, one turned at 90 degrees. Original and memorable? Yes. Awkward? even more so. It's the same as if the teacher assigned to do an essay on an original and memorable person you have met, and you write your essay on that cracked-out toothless bum that's the only one of his kind in your nice suburban town.
