I can’t tell if you’re serious or trolling me. Lol
This seems to be a bargain basement design from street level. The aesthetic appeal is worth 20% of the award criteria. I can’t see Moon getting anything above 0% in aesthetic appeal. Charcoal brick slab tower with almost no architectural value. They didn’t even add a single tree, plant, or landscaping at all at street level.
I don’t know if looming over a street is a positive. There is no distinct podium or setbacks on this project. The transit station integration is minimal. I believe they more or less just built above it. They basically broke every tall building guideline the city has, yet it was
”somehow” approved quite easily
