Rationally, the design of the building was chosen for its cost-efficiency. In an ideal world, we should have both aesthetics and cost-efficiency. In places where skyscrapers are economically viable (aka very dense areas with high land values), I'd have a strong preference for cost-efficiency over aesthetics to lower the cost of operating a business/living in the area. Albeit the aesthetics should have a non-zero priority.
