I find it strange that they took the strongest feature of the entire tower — the concrete shear walls that frame the long balconies — and played it down entirely by cladding it in window wall with spandrel panels that emphasize the horizontal. It would have made more sense for the architecture to work with the structure than to try and work visually against it. The issues here go way beyond that choice but it irks me every time I look at these.
