Simpson's Tower 401 Bay St. ( re-clad )

Lots of controversy on this one

I really don't see the need for this one. The original is indicative of a specific style, and not a bad example at that. I don't see the re-clad bringing anything architecturally significant to it. It's like the re-clad of the Verizon building across from Bryant Park in NY.

You are speaking from an aesthetic point of view only. Their reasons could be much more complex. Moisture penetration, failing sealing, thermal loss efficiency perhaps?

^ Very true. But absent that kind of information, one defaults to the pictures shown and issues opinions thusly. And as everyone knows, opinions are kind of like assholes...

In terms of pure aesthetics, I'm impressed by neither old nor new...
