I don't know, but I'm not sure how I feel about them. They're the same color as the mullions, no? ...they seem to give the curtain wall more texture/modularity than I was expecting. I guess I wasn't expecting as stark a break between the mall and the tower.
I'm also worried about those sharp cantilevered corners and the angular, rhythmic "bays" along State. My initial reaction is that they were forced by a developer who wanted to "spice up" a "boring" design because it was "too boxy" or something.
I know it's still way too early to form anything like a complete opinion, so I'm hoping my concerned prove to be unfounded...
