Yep. It's basically a grab bag of materials, like they just bought whatever was the cheapest thing at the time and forced some high school kid with a passing interest in architecture to "design" it.
As westwardloo said, it's just a bunch of random shit that does not match in any shape or form. It's just weird. And the tower is even worse, particularly the staggered grey and black stripes that run up the side of the tower for some bizarre reason. I don't understand how someone even manages to graduate out of university and become a licensed architect if this is what they're capable of doing. I would fail anyone who presented this to me. The class criticisms (students have to present works and then a team of either students or professors will critique the work) would probably make them drop out. I guarantee if you paid a visit to the University of Waterloo School of Architecture you would not see anything whatsoever that remotely looks like this. Their students produce amazing work.
Which then begs the question, who are these architecture firms?! Haha. How do you have a whole team of people working in an office that is capable of collectively approving this design? How did Drewlo get handed these design plans and conclude that this was what they want to be standing on this site for the next century? Just...no.
