I agree in principle that the street experience is important, but as an ideal to aspire to, a building's design in its totality should be equally crucial. If any given structure is to have dignity or impressiveness, it must work well along a wide range of factors - and that includes having as much integrity in its upper reaches as it does in its streetwall vibe.
isaisso's notion of "Functional and attractive" should be equally weighted considerations which would work equally well regardless of what particular floor we're talking about in any given new or proposed building. After all, our best buildings have to last several decades (if not considerably longer) and they had better embody classic aspects of good design - and rock some serious mojo - to take them forward.
