I think it depends. Like they have super reflective glass that sometimes doesn't work. It's distracting. And I think it's one component of sort of a composition that comes together. I think in this case, the glass on Trump's Chicago is very beautiful.

But glass is tricky. You have to get the shade right. You know, some glass has a lot of iron in it and gets super green sometimes. And that's a choice.

I think so. I think if you have a vivid imagination, if you sit with it, and then if you also go beyond the rendering, right? You have to live with the materials. So you don't build a 92-story building, glass curtain wall, and not...

examine the actual curtain wall before purchasing it so you have to spend a lot of time with the actual materials not just the beautiful sort of artistic renderings which can be incredibly misleading and the goal is actually that the end result is much, much more compelling than what the architect or artist rendered. But oftentimes that's very much not the case.

You know, sometimes also you mentioned context. You know, sometimes I'll see renderings of buildings. I'm like, wait, what about the building right to the left of it that's blocking 80% of its views? You know, architects, they'll remove things that are inconvenient. So you have to You have to be rooted in reality. In reality, exactly.

I'm living in Miami currently, so I see a lot of super uninspired glass boxes on the waterfront. But I think exceptional things shouldn't be the norm. You know, they're typically rare.
