After some rather irritating indecisiveness about architect, about name, and perhaps about its own existence, the planned tower formerly known as 120 Ocean and before that as Kallisto, formerly designed by Bermello Ajamil, and before that Arquitectonica, will finally rise as Glass, with a heavily reworked design by Rene Gonzalez, according to exMiami. And hopefully it'll stay that way, because indecisiveness is exhausting and stressful, and stress gives us wrinkles, and if there's something nobody in Miami wants, it's wrinkles. And this time the design's actually pretty good. With reflexive glass panels on a boxy facade and wrapping balconies, it's kind of the typical glass box but with a slightly mind-warping Rene Gonzalez twist.
