For you naysayers...big, tall buildings are coming to all bays so you may prefer this more interesting style to the normal.

Personally, as an "oud-Rotterdammer", living in BC, Canada as a retired Architectural contract administrator I love it. I am probably heavily biased, but whatever the reality of the project (critisism or praise), somebody dared to realize a ("crazy?") idea. We need that more!

That statue is exposed at Vence in France. Much smaller but exactly the same. The architects have plagiarized the artist.
