(Sorry guys can't post the renderings until I get back to my Mac)

Thanks. I wasn't at all sure what kind of reaction I would get from it. I was trying for something iconic that would stand out. Cope started it by pushing in some glass part way up the building on one side and it gave me the sense of an eroding rock or crystal formation so I continued the idea of an eroding butte that was organically crumbling and this is where we ended up. Makes for some very nice outdoor terraces at the top as well.
