"Form follows function" set this city on the map architecturally, but its disciples/exploiters are slowly ruining that.

River Point Tower has a slight curve, but you can be forgiven since it is very close to flat and hardly visible in the skyline once you get out a bit.
NEMA Chicago also has a nice tapering top to it, as does 1 Bennett Park.
Generally, I agree that the vast majority of towers being built in the city over the last decade have been flat tops.
