I'd definitely be supportive as well for a thread for 1326 S. Michigan. It rises to the occasion imo.
On 1326, that could be a very important project for adding energy to this stretch of Michigan in the South Loop. I hope for some refinement in the design, sure, but overall I think it would be not bad at all if built as designed at present (hey, at least SCB is diversifying away from their thoroughly played-out horizontal banding, right?!). I actually might have even preferred if it was built with the N/S orientation.....
Here's what I would really like, though: A developer with a similar infill parcel in the South Loop - maybe on Michigan itself as well - to commission bKL to design a similarly-scaled tower. It would be fantastic to get an elegant bKL curtain-walled box (something like 200 N Michigan maybe) of 400-500' in the South Loop......
PS Thanks, Spyguy for digging up and sharing all these with us! Agree that the RTKL proposal looks like an interesting one....
