no doubt . . one of the most exciting architectural events in NYC . .
and I am very grateful for it . . but there's always something . . right ? . .
Please enclose the beautiful top-of-tower triangular roof-angles . .

Much as I love this tower, 100 X more than any other HY effort, . .
that openness up top, will look unfinished & cheap . .
That's no old factory in Youngstown up there . .

Sheathe the roof in some sort of triangular grid of transparency . .
glass sections . . or thick plexi pieces . . that can be dramatically lit . .
like in all the impressive EARLY KPF RENDERINGS . .
all the bones are there . . just dress it up . . finish it ! . .

the mostly completed 10 HY, has the same roof, . .
yet it still hasn't done it . . & it looks like they're not gonna . .
this is more important than the big expensive jungle-gym picnic basket . .
that's gonna clutter up the plaza at the base of this . .
sterile symmetrical stairs going hither and yon . .
This important crown will be seen everywhere . . all over the world . .
don't cut this corner . . give architecture and American culture its due . .
let that penny go . . do it right . .
