In all seriousness, I am a sucker for structural engineering achievements.  Strange, I know, seeing as how I am an architect.  But, the structural engineer deserves more props than they get in a lot of cases (such as anyone as a sub to Frank Gehry).  This was a huge challenge and the engineer should be proud.

…and because everyone else has thrown out their opinions, I’ll take the opportunity to give mine.  I like this building…yes, its excessive and impractical.  It is a reflection of achievement and ingenuity.  The architecture reflects the building’s soaring height and it appears as though it’s poised to rocket towards the sky to pierce the heavens…
