I honestly would love to see some more brown and earth tones to echo the oldest modern skyscrapers extant in downtown Austin today. 100 and 111 Congress, One American, and even the Ashton are great examples. Something is needed at this point to give back some texture and keep Austin from being totally given over to Vancouverization. Interestingly enough, there's dialogue lately of getting away from glass facades finally, to both improve energy efficiency and stop killing birds, among other things.
