The drawing shows a shallow indentation in the entire facade facing Ashland and Division. In fact you can see the angled shadow line of the parapet, and even a triangular shaped canopy below.

However, the model does not.

The angle might look quite nice. And as you mention the facade could be enriched through projection of the solid panels. I think people are asking for more glass because the drawings and model suggest something that is too heavy and dull....like precast or something. That doesn't have to be the case. The panels could have different tones or textures...possibly a glossy appearance that gives the illusion of glass and adds some color. I'm kind of tired of everything being all glass these days. Buildings need more color and texture IMO The solid panels provide plenty of opportunities.
