The building with the red N is the NHOW hotel where I am staying:

I guess I'm just an old fogey, but I don't like those buildings, especially
the museum. I hate flat-topped structures and large blank walls.
With the exception of some works like our Calatrava addition to the
Milwaukee Art Museum, I feel architecture has gone downhill since the Art
Deco phase.
