Would you be speaking of me by any chance? Heller Manus has obviously designed tons of shitty buildings. But regardless of whether 181 Fremont is similar to the bank of China tower or not, it's a nice design. That's something most people seem to agree on, from responses I've read to the renderings. Meaning, maybe they don't suck quite as much as they used to, and maybe we should reserve judgement of their next design until we actually see a rendering of it. I wasn't defending all their shitty work they've done previously, but was simply giving them the benefit of the doubt based on their most recent design, which is MUCH nicer than anything else I've ever seen from them. Doesn't seem unreasonable to me.
