Yea, I would like to see you design something like that. It looks great, it adds density, and improves the skyline. Aren't those positive effects of skyscrapers and aren't we on skyscraperpage.com

Sure, let me grab a 4x4 and some tin foil. It's a cheap building. They're opting to construct an easy to build, cost effective, space maximizing building---> A BIG FLAT RECTANGLE. By covering the building in two-way mirrors they believe they can get away with this, and walk away with maximum profit. If your so happy about a shiny rectangle then I guess I'm happy for you, being so easy to please will guarentee you a full happy life. I'm merely implying that the design doesn't merit the kind of "OMG! It looks beautiful" enthusiasim WESTSEATTLEGUY(who is doing a fantastic job on the west seattle thread) has for it.
5th and Columbia is one of the few prime lots left in the central financial core, and should a building rise from it in this golden age of construction in seattle, I'd expect it to comprise both height and exceptional design. I fear the reflective facade will only serve for me too gaze upon some of the surrounding buildings, and dwell on what could have been.
