BuzzFeed Releases Renderings of Trump Tower Moscow
"A New York architect…completed plans for a bold glass obelisk 100 stories high"
By Rain Noe - January 23
The media is currently having a field day with whether President Trump did or didn't pursue a Moscow real estate deal during the election. Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani has claimed that "There were no drafts" of such a project. BuzzFeed News is contesting Giuliani's assertion, and claims they've got renderings of the proposed Trump Tower Moscow. They released them yesterday:
Enter a caption (optional)"By September 2015, a New York architect had completed plans for a bold glass obelisk 100 stories high, to be topped by a gleaming, cut-diamond–like shape emblazoned on multiple sides with the Trump logo.
Enter a caption (optional)"Its hotel portion would feature 'approximately 15 floors' and contain 'not fewer than 150 hotel rooms,' the letter of intent stated. The building would feature a luxury spa and fitness center, a commercial component 'consistent with the overall luxury level of the Property,' and an office space 'consistent with Class A luxury office properties,' as well as 'luxury' parking."
Enter a caption (optional)Whether you're a Republican, Democrat or something else, let's focus on what we can all agree upon: That building is darned fugly. Unsurprisingly, no New York architect has stepped forward to claim responsibility for the rendering, and BuzzFeed hasn't outed anyone.

There are perhaps a couple of individually interesting bits of geometry. However, taken as a whole...or even a half? Yeah, that's a full 100 stories of NOPE.
Just think how much worse it looks in color: gold&mirrors&gold&mirrors&gold&mirrors....!Report as spam-
