I like the aesthetics of glass towers just fine on their own but dislike their effect on the surrounding environment due to all the reflections. Not even in a melt-your-car way like the curved one in London. I just think it's ugly to have a beautiful old stone or steel or whatever-else-cladded building partially lit up with a wobbly grid of slowly-moving bright spots especially in the late afternoon hours when the sun is low in the sky. It started bothering me when it ruined every photo of certain buildings I traveled to see, like 33 Thomas Street, and now it annoys me on a daily basis even in my home city lol
- t43562 2y agoI did walk past a fairly small glass building.....in London....every day on the way to work and it was wonderful in the winter. It was significantly warmer for about 15 metres and also brighter. I wished there could have been a place to drink coffee there and enjoy it for a few minutes.
