Nice one Chris, almost looks like a canvas! Nema sure is a nice addition poking its head and shoulders up there.

That's the view everybody landing from the east on a widebody gets when landing on 28C. I love it.

Here's hoping for a supertall at Thompson Center.

It amazes how imposing Sears and Hancock look from pretty much every conceivable angle. Vista stands out in a nice way as well.

I prefer having Sears Tower so visible in the skyline. That was the point when it was built and it remains the central feature of the skyline some 50 years later. Amazing. Now that I live in NYC, I am seeing classics like the Chrysler Building being swallowed up by its neighbors. It's hardly visible anymore. The most impressive thing about Sears Tower, besides the design, is that it is surrounded by 500-800 footers and yet they look like nothing. So many of the towers in the Loop would be the dominant tower if they were in all but a handful of cities in this country. And yet they just blend in. It's wonderful.
All that being said, I would enjoy seeing the parking garages torn in the Loop torn down and turned into 800 footers. |

So far i am liking the look at the glass being installed at the base.

The blow-thru reminds me of those characters on the Simpsons whose heads split into two when they talk... :)

This building has its flaws, but it looks more or less stunning from most angles.
|
I think when the construction elevators and cranes come down, it will look mighty cohesive. It's certainly unique, will be the type of presence which says "Chicago" from just a glance of an image.

Today from down south

^that view looks so great, blends in well with NEMA and Sears' setbacks.
