They need to keep the design language of the previous design. This project was forged in the fire of over a decade of design alterations that had literal years to be critiqued, sat on, and iterated upon until it was finally right. You dont just crumple all of that up and plop this thing down from the sky one day and just move on… Not here. They need to get back to the drawing board and really deliver here. This building is out in front of the whole complex, one congress is beautiful but it takes a huge dent with a half assed mess out in front of it.
Yeah, the previous project was much shorter (177 vs 300 roughly if you include penthouse, which we should!)
