we should welcome any type of whimsy or eclecticism

It's quite possible to embrace the notion of whimsy or eclecticism and think that what is rendered here is a horribly failed attempt at delivering on that.

Wow. It's like a Hearst Tower (NYC) + CIBC Square with a sprinkle of Zaha Hadid. This went from a bottom of the barrel project to something I'm excited for. The top could be resolved better but the podium is 👌🏻

Can they execute to that level though? The rendering has the usual glazing handwavium problem - you know they probably won't use monolithic panes of that size in the poidum; and what are they using in the tower proper?

AoD
That is indeed an excellent question, particularly with TF remaining on as the local architect...

Assuming they use curtain wall, I see no reason why this shouldn't be good though, if not quite as seamless as the rendering.
