Black stations, White stations break down the doors
stand up and face the music, this is 1984
Black stations, White stations feet on the floor
dance on the ceiling with us, this is 1984, Ha!
Okay but think about why shiny and glassy is so appealing to so many people around the world . For so many people in formerly communist countries their urban landscape is just concrete . Just stone and concrete with so little artistic decoration that it becomes downright depressing . 90's-style buildings are the exact opposite so they are clearly representative of rebirth and change . Honestly , if you were there , you'd understand the appeal (although you don't really have to be there to understand)

i think bad designs are universal. wherever they may be, a bad design is a bad design. i saw a silhouette of this tower somewhere (i think SSC) were it looked like the shape has a lot of potential. but once you see the dimensions and blockyness of the tower it's pretty bad. the setbacks are so awkward, yet they're in the right height. and that spire looks horrible imo!
the federation towers are much better in quality and design. it's up to architects to realize what's a bad design and it's up to investor's to be smart about how they spend. someone once said, less is more, and this tower definitely needs less all over.

I endorse this building! BTW, that cladding is way more like copper than gold, but it's still awesome. Compare:

In fact, copper-ish cladding is a pretty bold choice for a building at a far North latitude. Normally you only see lustrous metallic claddings in sunnier locations.

Well the copper cladding shouldn't come as a surprise, it is called "Mercury City Tower" What better way to show that name then to have the entire city cladded in a colour that's closest to the planet~
