British car manufacturer Aston Martin and Argentinian architecture studio Bodas Mian Anger have finished a skyscraper in Miami.
The 66-storey tower in Downtown Miami, which marks Aston Martin's first residential skyscraper, has a curved, flat form and features a cantilevered pool deck near its top.
Readers scrutinized the building's design amidst the growing trend of luxury brand skyscrapers being developed, with one remarking: "This one isn't too bad." Another stated, "Using a brand name as a shield is no justification for lacklustre, uninspired design."
Other stories in this week's newsletter that fired up the comments section include a public toilet in Japan with rammed earth walls, a rowing club in the Faroe Islands by architecture studio Henning Larsen and a skyscraper in Downtown Miami designed by architecture studio SOM.
