8/10

Looks nice but the base gets too wide, either that or the top gets too thin too fast

the design for the base and the middle is okay...quite nice...has creativity on it...but as soon as i like to the top..oh my god...!!! spire again...

i dun mind a short one..but this spire is so long as well...like the New York Times Building...spire doesnt fit into New York...everybody says that...not nice...

7/10 Love the facade however I think the spire looks too tall and doesn't fit in with this building IMO.

it's a world class tower. the only counter-part is that it has too many buildings around it, it looks like locked in the middle of the city. it's still a 10/10

oh dear

Huge glass panel falls 50 storeys in NY
August 13, 2008, 9:22 am
A 680kg glass panel being installed on a skyscraper has fallen more than 50 storeys onto a New York pavement and shattered, injuring two people.

The 1.5-metre by 4-metre panel was being attached to the 51st-floor facade of a Bank of America tower under construction in midtown Manhattan across from Bryant Park, contractor Tishman Construction Corp said.

Passers-by ran toward the park when the glass shattered, raining pieces onto the sidewalk next to the 54-story office tower, which is occupied below the 29th floor. A block of Sixth Avenue was closed for hours while the shards were cleaned up.

Two men were hospitalised with minor injuries.

The city Department of Buildings stopped work on the facade and cited Tishman for failing to safeguard the public and property, failing to maintain vertical netting and not having a second exit route on the building's top three floors.
