"This building had rather little (transparent/translucent) glass compared to a lot of what's being built in the City. As for suggestions on what to do... Well, I am an architect, but museums are tricky so I'll give examples of precedent (all of which received a lot of hate when they opened.) The Whitney, The Guggenheim, MOMA, and the original 2 Columbus Stone building. There's also the new New Museum, the Met, the AMNH, et al. All have few windows and are much better solutions to the problem of an urban museum than this. As for the Stone slab (pun intended), it wasn't pretty per se, but I do believe it will be missed."
