As I said in the Manhattan West thread,

Between the World Trade Center, Central Park tower, and this, I just wonder why the lighting engineers can produce such a lousy product in some of the most expensive and high profile projects of their kind in the country. In most industries that would be career ending.

It’s actually insane to me how these lighting designers don’t get sued into oblivion by developers for their abject failure to deliver on almost a single new build lighting project in this millennium. The only one that comes to mind is One Vanderbilt. Everything else has been a disaster. It is as if they fundamentally don’t understand how to wire these systems with even the vaguest shred of resiliency or repairability. No major skyline anywhere else in the world seems to have this issue.
