I know this is Skyscraper Page, but do all of you guys have such a hard on for anything tall that you are willing to totally disregard the negatives that might come with that, like totally ignoring context and destroying a streetwall precedent that helps define the urban "room" - let alone not expose the hideous lot line walls of flanking structures?
How is that any different than the historical mistake of towers-in-the-park city planning with it's fine grain street grid removal and complete disregard for the fundamentals of traditional urbanism?
Have any of you even considered that this project could be even better if it adhered to a more sensitive massing that preserved the streetwall or is it just "tall thing good. Tarzan like!" ?
