Y'all need to remember the Tower of the Americas was designed for the 1968 World's Fair (aka HemisFair). At that time, it was a futuristic and design-forward structure. Nobody would have imagined where skyscraper design and technology would be today ~55 years ago when they began to design this tower. Give them a break.
Furthermore, I'd love to hear your pitch on selling the taxpayers of SA to spend the millions on a renovation of this tower (easily more than $100M to make any significant change to the tower). Where is the return on that investment (other than making it prettier for some)?
Off soapbox...can we get back to talking about 6xGuad now, please???
