Just as a quick aside here, re 8 Spruce:

There's a reason why one side of the tower is a flat surface.

My understanding of it is that the developers told Gehry to not go ham on the overall exterior form of the tower.

I think the initial fears were related to the understanding that a full-blown Gehry design would ruin it. IMO aside from the directive he as given, he otherwise made a remarkably subdued delivery on the facade.

This time, however, he may well be tasked with contributing to the open spaing component.
