I suspect most people on the west and east of it are catching that view rather than the one presented in the picture. I do think the building is truly lyric from the "right" angles which is why it pisses me off that it's absolutely deadening from others. Form following the function of an elevator shaft doesn't do it for me.
I think this whole block is a masterpiece of design. Not only for the tower, but the sunken plaza, the out buildings, etc. They should brink back the restaurant on the lower level that used to use the access point at the southeast corner of this block (currently atm's)...

as far as the criticism above, much of that could be applied to Aqua as well...
