Again, the cone shaped tower wasn't mentioned as an actual design for the site, but I mentioned a taper tower (which comes in many forms, like Vandy, 270, etc) with a massive yet proportional crown could do the trick.


That being said, anybody remember this old, never built? (and right next to the GH site) Would have been the tallest in the world at the time, and really changed the perception of the skyline.

that's another similar one that doesn't fit the site, or midtown at all for that matter.

suzhou zhongnan center above is a better fit, if also an unlikely design.
