Kind of reminds me of a more chaotic version of SunTrust Plaza in Atlanta, Georgia.

On the model I'm looking at, the tower is skinnier, with way fewer setbacks, (6 of 9 bays), and there is a wing along the long axis.

Do you people not have access to cameras at all?

yeah, you're clearly looking at something different than what A&K and ardecila have been describing.

who's closer to the truth? who knows?

but the game has been fun thus far!

FYI to all: sketch-up is super-easy to use and super-free for everyone! just saying......

Cameras are banned from some architecture firms offices...

Sketch-Up is fantastic!! I actually redrew the model in sketch-up, but the image posting procedures on SSP are a bit too complicated for me!! (apparently)

UrbanLibertine · #**17490** Posted **Jan 29, 2015, 7:35 PM**

NO!!!! Please somebody help him/her figure it out.

Can't remember what step I'm missing to get my flikr image embedded on here. but u can follow this link to a quick skethcup model I made. It's not to scale.

You just click the "share" button, copy the bbcode and paste here. Great job on the sketchup btw. Looks very cool.

^It's like a wraparound staircase.

Steely Dan · #**17494** Posted **Jan 29, 2015, 8:07 PM**

^^ well, i was pretty far off. i guess i got too deep into ardecila's 6x4 comment. it still may be a 6x4 grid, but that includes the more podium-like pieces at the base, which i completely missed. i thought the tower itself was 6x4.

oh well, i had fun trying to guess, but a big old swing and a miss compared to LDVW's Wanda Vista sketch.

Notyrview · #**17495** Posted **Jan 29, 2015, 8:12 PM**

I like it.

Heh, I didn't think it was that bad. Was pry more my bad description than anything.

So apologies if this was asked already, but with this new Vinoly-designed building, I'm assuming that the 'Chicago' building proposal is defunct, correct?

A&K, are you aware of anything adjacent to this new building you've been talking about, in the vacant lot that is furthest west (SE corner of Roosevelt and Michigan)?

I hope this link take someone to the model I sketched-up!

IF this link works, it's my approximation of a "Massing model" I stumbled upon last November.
