The gold cladding on the Chase Bank tower looks pretty cool. I'd imagine it wouldn't have aged well, as most of the gold 70s-80s buildings I've seen haven't.

But it would be cool to see a little gold glass again. It needs to be used carefully and in moderation, but I've seen some towers pull it off. A few of the Gensler renderings we've seen use gold accents. Hopefully they'll get one of those projects through.
