Including the entrance canopy, which looks like it's stolen from a 60s crapbox tower in Edgewater or somewhere. Does NYC only have tiny canopies because space is at such a premium? We have weather issues here, yknow.

Yeah, my main concern is that it not do an oppressive-monolith thing to the river canyon. Teng's version was more textured and and blended well into the streetwall, even though its design was not commendable in other respects. So long as it doesn't mar the canyon (subjective, I know) then I can tolerate this.
As an academic matter, I do feel like Handel is just mailing it in with the random zigzags; in fact I think SCB would have come up with something preferable to this, bored as we are of them.
