flat top? that's not even. check out the base of it. fortress america. sheesh.
otherwise, i like it. i wasn't in love with the diamond anyway. i did hope architecturally this would be the best of the non-1wtc bunch. i still think it will be, but that remains to be seen.
i think the disappointment some of us have is more than in part based on the ghost of the historic downtown skyline with its gothic spires and general olde gothamness. flat tops were supposed to be for midtown midcentury madmen era office modernism, not downtown. even the og wtc twins and the rest of the banal office bldgs downtown cant seem to shake off that perception. when you get major midtown type bldg designs set downtown like these three wtc bldgs it kind of unconsciously immediately throws you off.
