Couldn't agree more. It just looks silly. The first time I saw it, I thought (or hoped) it was just some temporary promotional sign. No such luck.

On this, the main mass is huge and the complicated shape makes it look unrefined and hard to define. There's no rhyme or reason to it - every side looks like it could be a picture of a different building.

Yes, it looks like a building that can't make up its mind what it wants to be.
And what's with the trend to grey/dark grey/black finishes on recent buildings around here? We spend a lot of time through the year under overcast skies and in the wet. Dark finishes don't help; they only exaggerate the effect, especially on massive structures like this.
Sorry to say it, but this is one depressingly ugly building. It's sad to think it could occupy that prominent a site for the next century or so. What a wasted opportunity.
