Fingers crossed!

This so kicks a$$ over the Torre Verre (at least from the outside, IMO they watered down the Verre exterior and made the structural crossbracing almost flush with the curtain wall. Takes away the dimensionality and richness that it once had.)

If they built the below pic instead, I could be more sold on Verre - to me this is the superior expression of the structure. Now the crossbracing looks just like a sticker on the facade, flat, lifeless (The inside spaces are sick, as if I will ever get the chance to see this on the inside unless Powerball happens)

Whereas 111 expresses its structure on the outside. Just stunning.
