I'm really not as upset as I was at first when the jury released its verdict, and I don't think the terminal is tacky or suburban at all. It's not as grand as SOM's, but it's a lot better than what we have now.

Yes, I agree too. Sometimes I cant help but think that perhaps they offered such a huge sum of money in anticipation of being asked to increase the height of the tower or add more floors. It seems very unlikely, but its just a thought.
I still have mixed feelings about all this. It was a huge negative when SOM turned out to be last, but I think we can all agree that its not even a question that Pelli's tower is much much better than whats there now. I dont hate Pelli's tower, I just feel bad that SOM's was left to hang dry. If SOM had never proposed what they did, I would have greatly backed Pelli's. Oh well, lets see is any fireworks are set off tommorow.
