I'm not entirely convinced that it's an aesthetic improvement to the neighborhood (they really could have done SOMETHING other than glass at the corners), but the curtainwall guys did an excellent job of selling it to the landlord!People today will buy a car with square wheels as long as the steering wheel is heated. -

I know that building and it was supremely ugly before. Way more functional and in keeping with the Hi-Line Renaissance in the hood.Comment

Well, it no longer looks like the world's largest bunker; that has to be an improvement ."For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations,

The building I work in has ledges that birds can stand on. It is the only tall building for miles around. The turkey buzzards use the building as a perch and then ride the termal currents coming off the parking lot.
It really wakes you up when one of those big S.O.B.s miss judges his soaring circle and slams into the glass next to your desk.Skip
