Arguably the Flatiron building looks like the prow of a ship and it certainly is an architectural work worthy of admiration.

Yes it does look nice-ish, but this is stage when human-scale disappears. It would look much less bland if it was ten story high and not twenty.

Having that coffin to the left does not help. It wants to dominate the landscape but it's dwarfed by a messy box.
