Honestly, I find this ironic, because the way this conversation reads to me:
1: This building is fantastic!
2: No, it really isn't.
1: Um, ok. Sigh.
2: Why are you attacking me? This is totally subjective anyway. But let's be honest, it isn't fantastic.
Tony's primary objection seems to be that it isn't faced in stone because it's in Society Hill / Old City, which is honestly something that I would not personally want to be a design consideration. I really enjoy contrasts of old and new materials and designs.
And I take back what I said about the view from the north being the least flattering. I drove down Columbus Blvd. yesterday and this thing popped with the elongated grid at the pinnacle. It looks even better in person than it does in photos.
I'll cap this by saying it's all a matter of taste, of course, and if one side wants to call it fantastic, that's fine, and if another side isn't a fan, then that's fine, too, but maybe the non-fans could be a little more accepting of the fact that some people really do like the building quite a bit instead of repetitively telling them that they need to be honest with themselves?
