well, if that's what you're hoping to be surprised with, you'll be sadly disappointed. however, the building is actually much better the way it is being designed than the way you're hoping it will turn out. if the glass curtain wall was to be brought out to the undulating edges of this building, it would veer towards the "blobbish" (along with being absurdly and prohibitively expensive). with the clearly articulated floor plates/balconies extruded beyond the perimeter wall of the glass box we have something that comes close to what an IBM/'marina city love child might look like.
this proposal is all chicago and it's all awesome.
move over fordham spire, i have a new favorite chicago skyscraper proposal to look forward to. my only lament thus far is that this stunner won't sit directly on the river. oh well, i suppose you can't have it all
