This building looks fantastic. I still insist those concave curves on the exposed concrete floor slabs are a pointless design detail. That slight curvy feature cost considerable time, labor and cost to the overall construction. Mind you. It is a ‘nice’ feature - but the time/cost factor seems way too high for what is a negligible design feature. I have the same attitude about many of the odd architectural features this same design firm did at the the Lincoln Center redesign project. Here is a link to a valid critque of the Lincoln Center project designed by the same firm - [https://hudsonreview.com/2023/01/geffen-hall-the-wrong-note/](https://hudsonreview.com/2023/01/geffen-hall-the-wrong-note/) I am fascinated by the construction technology behind the surface appearance of these Architectural wonders: so many interesting aspects to explore. This is surely capital A architecture; however, I have alway found that odd feature to be a point of personal contention for some reason… 🤔 ---
