It takes away the excitement of a building climbing its way toward topping out.
These module-like buildings with the preconstructed floors always seem to have lousier materials than most normally constructed buildings. Rotterdam just did one for I believe their current tallest (although it climbed vertically like normal) and it looks super cheap. Look at the cladding on this one for what's supposed to be the expensive condos at the top. It's worse than most cladding I see on the pathetic 5-over-1's, let alone on a highrise.
So to sum it up.... It all feels completely unnecessary, is scary/uneasy to look at, takes away the excitement of top-out, and prefab floors have looked cheap and shoddy in all instances I have seen them to date.
