3 Angles

The new Hearst Building is a bold stroke of design, half eyesore and half breathtaking shine and glass.

 

The new geometric tower is perched atop the staid and quietly ornate International Magazine Building (1927), in a kind of Blade Runner retrofit hybrid style. Detractors called it a Lava Lamp design, and they've got a point. Happily, I like lava lamps.
