What I want to see for Austin are a few buildings like this (see link) and more standard glassy infill not jarring eyesores like this project.

Not a fan of that. I wish architects would leave modern architecture and stop relying on Cheetos bags for inspiration. I have this image of them wolfing down a bag of Cheetos with the munchies, and then being amazed by the crumpled bag for 30 minutes.

I do agree with you on the design of this project, though. It's too busy and reminds me of what's going up in Dubai. That gold trim in the facade makes it look like a casino.
