At this point, I'm not sure it really matters. All the architects needed to do was to convince the company paying for the building. Chances are strong that things will get changed between now and when the hotel opens. Only a tiny number of potential guests are going to see this rendering. In fact, I bet most people won't even know this new hotel is coming.
I'll play Devil's Advocate. I used to work in a pedestrian and completely unremarkable looking hotel. We were the lower 17 floors of this high rise that could have been in any city across the globe:

Despite the yawn-inducing exterior, we did just fine because the public areas and guest rooms were thoughtfully designed and nicely appointed. If this new hotel can do something similar (and provide top-notch guest service), the exterior of the building won't matter. I'm sure the folk footing the bill for this building know that, as well.
That said, I agree that this new hotel isn't going to win any awards.
It's one thing to have a building of this design in an urban setting-- completely another to put one in WDW.....
