People hate spandrel glass. People hate EIFS. People hate red brick. People hate concrete. People hate blue-tinted glass.
It really is hard to keep everyone happy!

Wow, I don't hate spandrel. Just don't over use it, just like everything else. In moderate amounts is nice, in excess it's a problem.

OK, fair enough!

The podium looks a bit off compared to the rest of the building, but even with that personal opinion, it's a nice project.
