The true eyesore is what they are building. Not only has it already been dubbed "mullet top", the architecture is boring and reminds me more of a dorm tower you would expect to see at SDSU. Anyway, just my opinion, many seem to like it and obviously it's what is going up there so we'll see how "transformational" it really is for EV.
Can someone explain what's so transformational and iconic about this project? I realize it's better than a parking lot, but if this was erected in UTC or in the college area it would be looked at as just another piece of bland architecture. It's not worthy of that site. The rendering I posted may not be perfect, I think things could be amended to address walking concerns, view corridors etc., but I think they were on the right path of doing something really dynamic and stepping more out of the box as opposed to the current plan that broke ground.
