keep in mind that this building was undoubtedly designed for what the area will look like in a few years rather than what it looks like now. When the Twin Towers were there Cesar Pelli's World Financial Center brought balance to the skyline, softening the Trade Center towers and creating a composition that almost makes lower Manhattan look like a giant sand castle. When the Twin Towers were gone the World Financial center by itself looked bulky, boxy and bad in every way. Once larger towers rise behind it these buildings will once again frame the skyline in a satisfying way.

Goldman Sachs is a continuation of that frame and once the other buildings are completed it will work.

I love the shape and glass and metal texture of this building. To me, it has a beautiful form.
