This tower is different from most past single use towers. It might work. It might not. I like the thought and design and money that has gone into the whole of the project. We will All see in the end.

I don't necessarily agree. Once the roof which is angled upward/slanted is added I think the total look will be visually pleasing not to mention stunning when the whole tower is light up. I don't live in Austin anymore but get there every few years to revisit family and friends. It is such a pleasure to see how much building activity and infrastructure has been coming to the Austin area since I left at the end of 1999. I live in Southern California where things have fallen apart and are stagnant.
