Not to continue your off topic angle on "spires", but symmetry has its place, which isn't everywhere, all the time. That would make for a simply boring skyline. There's a reason the NY skyline is known around the world, and it's not because everything is the same. It's why you can get a "plain" looking building like 432 Park, and it's ok.
But I'll speak specifically to the BofA, since it's very similar in style to what we're getting here. Say what you want, but it's the buildings like these that make a skyline more remarkable than not.
I'm looking forward to more of this in One Vanderbilt.
