Yeah, I read that comment too, and I don't get it. I sure hope they don't want something boring.
There was a mention of wanting it to feel like being at the center of the universe...? What the whut?
That location is NOT the center of anything. It's a great location, but it's not as if it's up against Pioneer Courthouse Square or Waterfront Park, or in the heart of the shopping or business districts. It's a few blocks to the west of any of that.
I feel like the busyness of the podium fits into the variety of everything around the block it's on, and the simplicity of the tower nicely contrasts that while rising above it all.
