Proof that cryogenics is real. The architect clearly has been frozen for the last 30 years.

Neither iconic or inspiring.

I had flashbacks to the mid-80s seeing that - quite a trip.

That building just does not fit in at all with the other more modern buildings built over the past few years. It will instantly look dated compared to it's neighboring buildings. I think they need to go back to the drawing board or find a company to design something worth building on such a prized slice of waterfront property.

I've been trying to find some large site maps of the plan for this area - what's going where, what streets are changing - and it's really frustrating. All I can find are these small, web-sided images that are impossible to read. I feel like the city could do a much better job of sharing information online.
