I think these would fit a whole lot better next to the Times building than those glass boxes. Doesn't have to be identical or as tall but defined windows would be nice for a change.
Ugghh...no. They were heinously proportioned and poorly designed in 2006 and they haven’t gotten any better. I have no problem with Shop or RAMSA, Pelli or others being contextual, but these awful things were always vile and absolutely don’t belong in downtown LA.
