If you're gonna call it a *spire*, make sure you know thoroughly the meaning of what you wish to build. If you want a *slab n' a straw*, well.........

I used to draw 100x better buildings in 8th grade art class freehand.
A) there are no real architects of record, because the tower isn't even an actual proposal, and MJM + A is hardly a firm
B) the 'architects of record' have crap renderings, and the 'fan-art' -- which it IS called in the post -- is significantly better than anything released by Massey Knakal so far
C) if you're going to criticize YIMBY you should spell 'ostensibly' correctly
