re: Why did it take TAF so long to get the architecture right?

What did you expect them to do? Plaster a bunch of damn arches all over the thing? The west upper is sleek, and it's a perfect marriage of design and functionality. The proportions and geometry are spot on. Perhaps they could have done something different as far as materials, but the overall design is fine.

Pretty much how I feel. I don't mind the design at all. I just wish they would have used different materials like you said. Maybe some kind of marble or other stone instead of that lego looking shite. And I understand the need for louvers since the west upper faces the sun, but they could have used something that didn't look like rusted prison bars. And they also should have covered up all that fire proofing underneath...oh and of course the pvc shite pipe
