Come check out my Sketchup model of the CTC! (Be sure to keep a eye out for the little Billy Penn statue at the top ;) )

What modern glass skyscrapers aren’t “cold and inhuman”? Lol.

It’s actually one of my favorite new skyscrapers. It has a slight nod to deco and symmetry without being overly pastiche.

Agree with all, and it's a high quality exterior design (no cost cutting).

And can people let this one go already, lol. The building has been completed for years, it's done, let's move on.

Agreed, shouldn't this be marked completed?

It is, but since it's a supertall it gets its own permanent thread (the ESB also has its own thread).

[The straight-on perspective here really shows my earlier point that a thinner section on top of the hotel would be impossible because it would basically be as wide as a bank of elevators.]

...But the slight adjustments that would hide and mirror the old Comcast Center would be beautiful. It even further accentuates the the neo-art-deco concept too. It also sort of looks like a keystone, which seems appropriate.

AND think of the Christmas decoration possibilities on the tower! (even as designed now)

Anyone know where this image came from? I've been trying to track down the original without the Christmas tree edit

Just found this! The same company who did the Comcast Center lighting upgrade in 2014 installed the temporary green lights on the CTC. I swear, give it some years, and they will change the spine and lantern to LED lights
