Side note, all those new skyscrapers in Brooklyn are awful. They're so bland and uninspired. Thankfully this modern masterpiece will bring some visual magic back.

interesting, I think they're mostly awful but for the opposite reason: too weird, too much multicolored glass and random patterns, too much variety, too post-post modern, too colorful. Some uniformity/blandness would be welcome.
eg the brooklyner is not bland, it's just horrible architecture. Bland would have been a glass box. same for weird red and silver stacked boxes next to the (architecturally completely incongruous) barclays center.
the new buildings near BAM and closer to Fort Greene park are better IMO.
example of too snazzy, too colorful, too random building from downtown manhattan:
imagine being the architect of this post-postmodern rectangle jazzed up with yellow panels, slotted down in the middle of 20 art deco classics. the shame...
