Who's the architect?

The facade is really interesting...if it works it'll be incredible, if it doesn't...could be terrible (there's a building from the 60's in NYC that I'm thinking of that I can't recall at the moment with a similar facade)
I don't know who designed it, but for some reason, it *screams* John Portman to me. I see hints of the SunTrust Center and there's even a copy of the famed suspended trellis of the Hyatt Regency Atlanta in the lobby rendering.
