I still believe that they’re going to eventually get an architectural cover, or maybe it’s just wishful thinking since the whole building is a disaster, not that the cover would make things “that” much better…

A prime example of subversive architecture.

Does anyone know what the hold up is?

They have no $.

Also interesting that Amazon has not taken down the L&T sign.

Just noticed that this ArchDaily article has renderings of the current design that I’ve never seen posted before. Better late than never!

Unfortunately, the renders, while still terrible, don’t accurately depict how horrible the actual thing is.

This would’ve been minusculely better if the side core wasn’t being clad is such dark pv panels which is gonna make it look like a tall black stick just chillin in the skyline.
