super tall, but no interaction whatsoever with the urban fabric. Another wind-swept (sun-fried?) plaza, that will one day, once the novelty wears off, could cease to draw much pedestrian traffic.
Personally I prefer when the skyscraper is right smack in the thick of it. Like the Empire State Building.
The extreme thinness of the building has me doubting about its financial merits.
