It is absolutely necessary. It looks like a falcon wing, which gives the tower a distinct identity.

Just facadism. It doesn't have anything to do with the architecture. But I'm glad you like it.

This isn't facadism. Facadism is the preservation of a historical facade.
This could loosely be considered ornamentation. Imo architectural ornamentation is a crucial part of interesting architecture that is seldom used these days unfortunately. Otherwise you're depending purely on materials and massing to create visual interest.

It is an embellishment, so perhaps technically not necessary, but it does add to the character and identity of the building which I agree is a good thing.

Exactly! -- do I tell you what you can and cannot do on this open forum? So why don't you take your own advice.

You're absolutely free to say what you want, and others are just as free to comment on yours and Ian's weird little ongoing bickering.

'nuff said... if I can't help the top dog to make himself a better person then who is gonna do that? (tongue in cheek - I know for a fact that Ian takes it all in as a fun-spirited jab-in-the-ass and he is equal in the parry; what I didn't know was that I was equally jabbing-in-the-ass @EtoV and that he/she seemed to be missing out on the fun, hence the "you're next" comment -- I guess he/she took it seriously)
