Agreed. Hopefully, when viewed from the street in its real-world context, it just kind of blends in and disappears (I haven't been by there recently to check it out). We tend to focus on the designs of these buildings in isolation (which is understandable when they're first proposed and built), but in the context of their streetscapes and when fully occupied with retail, etc., they're sometimes (frequently?) not as bad as they were in isolation. Not to excuse
this horrendous design, by any means.
