What's great about this building is how they resolve the box into the four cylinders, and how the diagonal lines in that resolve also relate to the diagonal lines in the cultural shed. I have to admit that at first I didn't like this design, but it's really grown on me as I've had a chance to view the model shots and take more of it in. Like NYguy said, this will be one of the most distinct towers on the NY skyline when it's complete, and it will be very visible due to its location. I just hope they execute the materials well, and do something with the crown at night. It really should be lit up.
