I have no doubt the "architecture", the detail and the quality of materials and construction will be exceptional. That does not change the fact that this city's zoning code that dictates distribution across a building lot has led to a massing that is absurd and is detrimental to common sense urbanism, which is how we built things before 1961. This will be a beautiful building in a total vacuum. You will have to just ignore the lot line walls of the flanking buildings that participate in a "whole is greater than its parts" kind of understanding that new buildings like this one that interrupt the cohesiveness of urban fabric totally ignore.
