Why have impractically large floor plates combined with impractically large antennae?

Other than being confused as to the practicality and purpose of such a design, I really like how it looks...

PS the reason the people at SCC give this rave reviews is because they give everything that is big and tall praise, they generally don't seem to give much thought to deeper issues over there...
Another thing that would fill the floor space is have you ever thought there might actually be the demand for it. Unlike merchandise mart where there was never full demand for that much space to be injected into the market.

Aside from that I quite like the design. Very futuristic yet not overwhelminly so; very elegant.
