That's a subjective opinion based on taste and aesthetic sensibility.
The issue here is less to do with the morphology or choice of design rather than with the execution as pertains to its hindrance of the walkway's primary function.
We can pick nits all day on what the designer decided to do or not do from a design-perspective (and such a debate is probably better suited for a design studio crit session), but none of it matters a wit if the end product doesn't perform as optimally required.
