I think the thing that bothers me the most is that the towers don't face the same direction. If you have to build the twin (fraternal), rotating the second tower 180 degrees just seems so...haphazard, as if they aren't even considering the facade design in terms of exposures, sun angles, glazing types. Who knows...maybe they didn't.

As mentioned, JChurch did a ton of research on these when they were first beginning construction and got specific height and floor count figures directly from the drawings. Unless the design has changed, those would be the numbers that should go on the thread heading.
