It's the lines. They're all flat. The shape of Trump curves a bit, sure, but you don't have the jagged/flower shaped footprint of a Burj Dubai or
this, the crown is pretty much flat unlike
this Frostbank tower in Austin knockoff, and then there is the curved walls of
this building. Of course you don't want to mix all of those, it would look really stupid.
Look at the picture below:
All of the buildings are various shapes and sizes. (As opposed to those in the US which are all the exact same shape, ha ha
) The one in the centreright has some loopy crap on top, just behind it the next tallest after what I'm assuming is a David Foster design looks like it has a sort of curved bevel to it, not a straight line. There is a dark green-blue building on the left that has a sort of rocketship thingy attached to it, and maybe a building hole, and that bridge beside it is just plain cool looking. It's like the iPod of bridges. And behind loopy crap is a building that looks like "fancy" 5 dollar speakers from a dollar store. Cool! Most are either crap or boring, but you could say that about most building in New York when seen from afar. At least the ones in New York have details to enjoy up close.
