^i think the rendering has enough detail to reveal its formalistic qualities. For instance, you can tell that any kind of horizontal or vertical flow is impeded.

Now true, color can create the type of flow that most of us are used to in a really tall buildings. Then again, I'm one who strongly believes that the lack of any type of flow is intentional. No decent firm would be oblivious to this. In that regard, I'm intrigued with this building somewhat and look forward to any revisions.

What i find most troubling with this building is how the portion of the building that juts out fights with the hole. formalistically, it's not a very interesting structure as the hole doesn't create enough tension. It's rather bland IMO. However, I'm not in the belief that this is a final design and I do agree that a color version will help to answer some questions.
