I've been watching the curtain wall go up on 2nd, and it has the same pattern as the curtain wall on Jefferson. I reserve the right to change my opinion, but I don't see how this isn't going to look...prison like. I'm afraid it's going to be much to busy and uninviting.

I'll try and get pictures next week.

Update from 11-19-2011: Looks like the north side facade will be just unadorned glass.

I think that the aluminum rods look a lot better in real life than they do in the rendering.

Hmm, I typically don't like sheer monolithic curtain walls like this. But combined with the 3 other more intricately detailed facades, it kinda works.

I'm trying very hard to not have an opinion of this one until it's done... because... well... so far... yikes?

Pay no attention to that m̶a̶n̶ cold glass box behind the curtain.

I kinda like it. I think they could have chosen a better design but this one looks cool and modern

I like this side a lot, but I fear the west side of the building is turning out to be hideous. I hope I'm wrong.

Here is a link to a 3D Sketchup model I made of the building

It isn't the most detailed model, but I think it is still cool.
