21 West and the especially the pyramid wouldn't look good at that height. But the WS towers would. The only blunder with this development is the lack of height. The design would pull it off at 2x/3x the height. Or even something like this, just somewhat bulkier, would of been nice for HY Phase II.
Pyramids in general are really hard to pull off. It comes down to the location with them IMO. A design in the wrong area could spell disaster for the aesthetics of the area.
When this is fully fleshed out, I (unofficially) challenge the Photoshoppers in our midst to superimpose a shot of it over any mid-sized city in the country of their choosing.
I have four Upstate locations in mind.......(White Plains, Nu Roch, Buffy, Rochester).

Great shots! These are turning out wonderfully. The best buildings Daniel Libeskind never built.

That area, with the white pyramid nearby, is a modern architecture hub. Great flashy buildings.
Indeed. The white pyramid is "VIA 57 West". Ingel's designed it. It has been a smashing success in terms of sales, and its presence in the skyline. Its unique, nothing like it in the city.
