Looks like he (Daniel Liebskind) cares way too much about exotic geometric structural design, name recognition, non-conformity to surroundings and showmanship,

then he does about retail space, longevity and structural integrity.

But regardless of the committee, if whack job Bloomburg has anything to say about it,
it will be the most outlandish eyesore the world has ever known.

I ask, where is the attention to scale, proportion, use of materials, sensitivity of details, clear ideas of space, integration into NYC's urban planning and too many other components that SHOULD be the primary goals of a GOOD design?!

He's too into making something weird and 'cool' shaped for the sake of coolness, slickness, and newness.
