Just to be clear, I am talking about the 'base', except in Jeanne's building, there isn't much of one as far as transitioning the building from the sky to the sidewalk. Which is fine, but not relating to the context is not.

If this was a graduate student project being critiqued, it would be blown out of the water.

I admire your steadfast defense of our resident genius, but 'it looks cool', by itself, has never been and, thankfully, will never be a criteria to evaluate great architecture.
