The New Piper was designed with a nod to the
Medical Arts Building and to Midwest Plaza - a good
idea with uninspired execution.

 I think it looked good with the yellow top.
Today and forevermore, it's just
plain dark louvers.

Here is an idea gone terribly wrong.  The design of the new Piper tower is loosely based on the Medical Arts Building next door.  Both are two-tiered and light colored with ornamentation around the top.  It's a good start, but it just doesn't work.  The grouping of individual windows into large blocks and the alternating lightness of the horizontal bands give it a stark, chunky feel.  It overwhelms its old neighbor.
