Good one..Let's just call it Burj Adrian Smith......Is this chump serious? Doesn't he have enough money now to begin developing a conscience---you know, enough free time to think clearly? Who would fight for authorship of a symbol of (gonzo) capitalist excess? Did the marketing team put him up to this?
regardless of my opinion of the building, it's obviously a project mr. smith devoted a lot to and takes a lot of pride in, so he should be given due props.
