A little OT, but I recently went to the Bjarke Ingels exhibition at the National Building Museum in DC.

As cool as their stuff can be it grew a tiresome after a while.

You are correct, although AAT Phase I is three blocks and Phase II is four blocks, with a giant square in the middle. This site is five blocks and not that irregularly shaped.
