They're not going to revert back the old plans, such as they were. I'm pretty sure that those models to which you're referring were just some preliminary concepts, and did not represent final plans of any kind. But even if they did, Penn has since hired international "starchitect" Lord Norman Foster--designer of CITC, the new Apple headquarters, the "Gherkin" in London, etc.--to design this complex, and these newer renderings are presumably from his firm. I assume that these are also fairly preliminary and conceptual, so that we'll hopefully see some significant improvement in whatever the final plans turn out to be.
