With all of the POS beige-painted, concrete buildings between the river and North Ave, you pick Trump?

I really can't think of why, but I have always liked this building.

Sorry but I TOTALLY disagree. I love the Trump tower.

My vote would be for the Chicago Metropolitan Correctional Center. I understand we need the services of the building, but I think they could have constructed a MUCH better looking building.

^^^ You do realize that is widely considered a revolutionary design right? Its also got an extremely well laid out interior. If you dislike this building its only because you can't accept brutalism as a style or aesthetic and not because it has any flaws. I would be horrified if anyone suggested plans for tearing such an excellent building down. That's probably in my top 10 or 15 favorite buildings in Chicago.

To each his own. If we're not allowed to have different opinions on architectural styles then what are we doing on this forum? =)

Here is one to start since I happen to have a picture of it:

It is near (perhaps on) the intersection of Rush and Oak. It has a bank at the bottom of it and I absolutely HATE it. Tear down all those bullshit concrete/black plastic windowed piles of dog shit in the Gold Coast with it.

GraniteStoneNY · #13 Posted **Oct 30, 2008, 1:52 PM**

that is one ugly building. Where is that? Chicago?

i would agree with you. just basing on the picture, it looks horrible, and so boring. it could use a lot of creativity.almost like a phallic symbol to me.
