Im afraid this city is going to end up with many mainstream architects passing up on Chicago for there "signature" designs because of the bureaucracy that we have been seeing from alderman in the past 10 years or so..We will just be getting safe and no cutting edge projects because of whats going on. So many project like this one end up changing design completely and reduced in height for silly reasons and the architect original vision never gets met...I understand designs and changes are part of the business but NYC has so many large scale projects that stay true to original version and rarely get height reductions like Chicago has been seeing on so many project in the downtown/rivernorth area recently... This project in current form is nothing to brag about but could of been so much more special if stayed with the original design.
