Nice Work KZ, flawless photoshop. To be honest, after looking at all of those i have to say our proposal looks the best. I like it. the more and more i look at it, the more and more i like it.
To be honest, I see a little bit of Chicago's Hancock Building in there... I don't know what it is. I like Chicago's Hancock Building, and i feel that this building will grow on me (and hopefully everyone else) in the same way.
They're both basic, they're both relatively bland, yet they're both Iconic in their own way (well, Chicago's Hancock anyway).
Most buildings that are iconic and have a long lasting impact (that aren't world's tallest, or previous world's tallest) really aren't all that intricate. Boston's City Hall was iconic when built, and now anyone who doesn't like brutalism (the majority) doesn't like it. Art Deco is an exception as it seems ageless, but most people move past styles or "trends" of certain eras. this proposal looks like it could have been built in the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's or the new millennium. It will grow on people and it will be iconic despite it's relatively bland look.
I think it's perfect, especially when i look at KZ's photoshops of all those different buildings in its place.
