The design elements likely reflect recent changes in building code rather then being some kind of architectural statement.
Apparently, the design cues were taken from Steven Holl's project in China.
I hope the aA proposal gets some color like in this photo, but I doubt it.

Probably holding is back as a trade-off.I've seen the architectural drawing submitted withe the development application. There appears to be no plan to connect this development to the PATH. This can't be an oversight but it is nevertheless baffling. Why wouldn't they want a connection? Why wouldn't the city insist on it?
