What's ridiculous about the design of the Park Lane as it stands today is that with those massive blank sidewalls, in 1971 it was clearly envisioned that the buildings on either side of it would also be torn down and replaced with buildings of equal or greater height. Obviously that never happened.

I wonder what those at the landmarks meeting would say to that? So that the architecture of the Park Lane could fulfill it's original vision as part of an even taller streetwall?

And on that line of thought, is the new building going to acquire air rights from it's neighbors, and thus have windows on the sides with guaranteed views? Or windows that one day could be blocked up?
