It would be the kind of buildings you look at in 10-15 years and go "what were they thinking? those towers are hideous" The current massing proposal doesn't have any material detail but the massing and general look of the design is more "normal" which means it wont look out of date as quickly.

That's exactly what I think too. Offset buildings will be looked at 30 years from now like the way we look at 80s hair styles. I feel the more angular styled towers age better. For example the One and Two liberty Place towers in Philly. I know this is a residential building where having a square approach optimizes space, but I still can't help at thinking how ugly these buildings will look years from now.
