I am nitpicking that detail; but I do see these concave floor plates as being a bit sloppy looking. They are so subtly they are barley visible to the casual observer - fortunately. :stuck_out_tongue:

This is a look at another stacked box building, an ODA building, and what I wish was the final finish on those floor plates. A clean, flawless, neat finished look; that could have been done at a fraction of the time/expense. This is a minor critique - and a personal preference - whereas this building is otherwise fantastic looking.

The complex forms of the stacked boxes are more that enough visual delight; those subtle concave curves are just “gilding the lilly” - as the saying goes…

There are plenty of folks with a similar opinion to this one here from another forum member -

Progress is being made on the bean’s final task—polishing and seam hiding. Here’s an image of a part of the bean showing how the seams and dents previously visible are disappearing.

With the spilt trash too. In no other city would someone pay tens of millions of dollars to look at that when they step out their front door

And the bean is progressing slowly but surely. The parts polished up look great. This will be a Tribeca treasure when done.

Only took 40 months! I can already see a seam indentation though.

Also, I know the sidewalk is wet/damp, but it looks absolutely terrible already.

Yeah, they really need to thoroughly check this thing for seams and hide them better.

That entire seam in distorted the whole length/height of the piece, lol but the immediate one I saw was the 4 way seem on the opposite side to the left of the lightpole.

It should have been red, like from the movie “The Blob”.
