It’s just bland and uninspired. As someone else mentioned, it’s no wonder the renders only showed it at night. My guess is that this ended up being a design-by-committee as MdeAS were forced to make concession after concession. That said, nothing that MdeAS has done has really impressed me, so…
A decent job, for sure. But it certainly didn't make me say "wow!"FCP reclad is strong, IMO.
Oh my god - THAT will certainly save this sad project......They’ve started to add a silver/white-ish framing around the glass.

Of course. The original cladding was marble from the world's most famous marble quarry in Carrara, Italy. The ancient Romans used the same stone for their buildings. Replacing that cladding with glass wasn't going to make anyone say "wow".
