There is just too much going on... It reminds of a '70s shower curtain. To use a Yiddish word... it is UNGAPATCHKA

Ungapatchka definition from Urban Dictionary.
- a Yiddish word that describes the overly ornate, busy, ridiculously over-decorated, and garnished to the point of distaste
-Yiddish noun or adjective, denoting excessive ornamentation or kitsch.
I do not think either of above definitions apply to this tower.
One57 is original, well design, futuristic building that stands out and brings variety to midtown skyline. I like it.
