From Baker & McKenzie's offices:

Vista June 6 2019 by Tomasz Wojtasik, on Flickr

According to news reports, two 29 year olds were arrested for scaling or attempting to scale Vista.

^^^ Here's a video of the dipshits in the act:

https://www.reddit.com/r/chicago/com...ator_shaft_of/

Not sure exactly what their plan was. The comments on reddit suggest multiple people have already snuck into the project after dark and use, you know, the STAIRS, to reach the upper levels.

Embrace your geek - more people than you think find this stuff if not fascinating at least interesting. I am well known in my office as the dude who takes pictures of the buildings, I have found one co-worker is with the Architecture foundation, and another into Prairie school buildings. I often get questions about what this or that project is, sometimes from people who I would not have expected.

A DSLR marks you as a "real" photographer, and greatly changes how people perceive your actions.

I must say when I was watching this rise as a windowless tower, I thought this would turn out to be too much of a wall. But with the cladding changing colour and the undulations in the form it helped break up the wall, making this tower to be an impressive piece of architecture. I am glad that Chicago is still producing architectural wonders! Well done!!

Didn't think I was going to like this building but wow - I was wrong. Looks stunning.

I noticed it a few hours ago. Looks like I'll miss my chance to scale it (LEGALLY) of course, ha.

Another amateur question. Since the crane is coming down does the glass come up in skip's or is the freight elevator already up and running?
