He may convert buildings, but he does so in the worst possible way, with no actual respect to the building. For example, look how he destroyed the lovely building on Spring and Sixth by painting it an atrocious shade of teal and haphazardly cutting out windows on what was once a beautiful marble facade. Or look how hideous ducts and vents spew out of the bottom floor of all his building. Or look how the signage he uses is so low quality that it rusts after a year, smearing the facades, and that he doesn't care enough to repaint them.
