This building makes me nervous.... it could end up looking gorgeous, or it could end up looking like some sunken, malnourished, and starved skyscraper. The wavy part of the building casts shadows on its own skin... this could end up making the building look anemic and deflated. However, if lots of nice clear (I assume slightly blue/green tinted?) glass and bright colors are used those shadows would be minimized, and at nighttime the light emanating from the building will take care of that effect entirely. I'm crossing my fingers with this one, it could go either way.

I will say, if they can minimize the shadows… this building might end up being a world trend setter, something never before seen on such a tall building, not even in London, Paris, Tokyo, or NYC.
