The wall facing DTK is basically just a blank  grey precast wall  for 32 storey up. The sprinkle of white panels 20 stories up somehow make this building even worse. The Architects should be ashamed of what they produced.

So true. Whoever the hell is responsible for this is the absolute worst. This isn't the only Vive montrosity that has that random sprinkling of different colours of precast. It's like they bought the wrong colour and just said to use it. I know that really ugly Vive apartment over by Freeport hospital does the same. One wall is just this MASSIVE blank thing with a sprinkling of different shades of precast. It makes absolutely no design sense. But this one takes the cake...it looks like an urban prison or some commieblock you'd find in North Korea.

You don’t understand. We need housing and you’re just being an architecture snob. 

Or so I’m told every time I complain about how this region has squandered a once in a lifetime opportunity to totally reinvent itself and has managed to somehow go significantly backwards with new construction that looks worse than cheap construction from 20+ years ago. 

Buildings like TEK should be the absolute floor for what we accept. It’s not good, but it’s fine, passable and can fade into the background. Unfortunately it’s one of the best new builds.
