some folks can't articulate why they feel how they feel. that's unfortunate since I really like hearing people's take. but that should be okay. as it's okay to just say, "this building — rocks!".

and i have to agree with you about "hulking monstrosities". people in this thread were throwing that around as though it were a bad thing. i friggin LOVE "hulking monstrosities". chicago wouldn't be the broad shouldered city it is without 'em.

there's a difference between a bad "hulking monstrosity" and a good building. Sears Tower is on steroids IMO and it's shockingly elegant because of it. Our two hulking black towers fit in perfectly with our weather. Really, is there a sight more beautiful than the Hancock on an white-out sky in December?
on the flip, the first released version of Trump Tower was by all accounts and purposes a bad hulking tower. It improved greatly through public concerns of it being just that. Therefore, I think it's wonderful that folks state their concerns.
