Finally got a chance to see the NBC Tower in Chicago up close, and all I kept saying was ...this is the "Art Deco CTC." Lord Norman Foster designed a new Apple store on the Chicago River close by that was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and the Prairie School-style. I don't think there's any question that Foster/Comcast had the NBC Tower in mind when finalizing CTC (people mentioned this when the CTC renderings were first released, but after seeing it up close--no doubt about it). Foster seems to like to tip his design-cap to others once in a while with his new works.
