Trump Tower is awful. No texture, all glass, and no creativity. Pretty bland with the exception of the set backs.
However, Trump Tower is miles and miles better than this mess proposed by Adrian Smith. This thing is beyond offensive to the skyline. Its an atrocity. It is completely out of context with its surroundings in form. Yet its break away from conformity doesnt even have a hint of creativity, but is merely a box stacked awkwardly on a box.
New York would be better off if this thing wasnt built. How incredibly disappointing. Is there anything that can stop this monstrosity?
New York needs to implement design review boards. Based on its size and prominence in the skyline, this is wosre than any street wall killing budget hotel designed by Kaufman.
Why Adrian Smith did you have to ruin New York?
