Seriously, for New York they can absolutely do better. Even if this was in Philadelphia it would be disappointing.
I also count 33 floors

So true. This got met wondering. This comment led me to this video that surveys some of the possible root causes of this Architectural Banality that we see all too often. It seems she sites āmodernismā as the main culprit - but reasonably looks at other various factors as well.
BTW - One of my favorite parts of this video is her roaming cat in the background stealing the showā¦ 
Good postā¦
TK Iām sorry to diss your employer but I donāt like this one. Iām sure it will satisfy a demand for up to date office space but yuk. Best wishes from your pal.

I can assure you I take no offense, because Iām not working on this project, but even if I was I wouldnāt take offense. Itās not always up to the architect to make the design decisions, that decision still solely rests on the client and whether they approve/disapprove of a design and also if they want something conservative or not.
Thatās why I particularly noted in my last post that even though the design is very not flashy and showy/ is very plain, that we can still be assured that the facade will be of high quality.

They could have anchored 175 Park instead.

700K sqf would not suffice there.
