I think it looks very good by itself, since you don’t have other skyscrapers around. If they build a second one, they will have to get more creative.
Also I believe they have to conform to very strict earthquake standards.

- capkutay 9y agoI'm not sure what earthquake standards has to do with the aesthetic of the building. The main thing they need to do is drill 200 ft below surface into bedrock. The competing design had a similar shape/weight distribution but was much more beautiful and unique: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zKV9lrNlb8M/maxresdefault.jpg https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zKV9lrNlb8M/maxresdefault.jpg
- beaner 9y agoBeauty is in the eye of the beholder. The competing design reminds me of 1 world trade center, which I do not like.
- DrScump 9y agoThe main thing they need to do is drill 200 ft below surface into bedrock. But will they? The builders of the Millennium Tower sure didn't.
- traek 9y agoYes, they did. Salesforce Tower’s foundation is anchored into bedrock. This is both easy to look up and not relevant to the conversation about design.
- ajmurmann 9y agoI agree it looks nice by itself, but the similarity to the building in Hong Kong also really bothers me way more than it should.
