With respect, if there were a new level of quality here, we'd see this completely clad in limestone, not light yellow concrete. I know, i know, it looks pink at sunset, it's 'nuanced' some say, but so is every building at that charmed 30 minutes or so, when even the Sears tower looks pink. On the majority of days, especially cloudy ones, it will look pretty drab. I'm really looking forward to the day when we see an all stone highrise, one that truly is nuanced and doesn't require mother nature's benevolence to look good.
