I am thoroughly obsessed.
Also, at the risk of being lame, I am so excited about this proposal. I can't wait for it to be built. I'm more excited about this proposal than I was the first time I saw the Chicago Spire or the Ritz tower. If built, this will be just another design that exists nowhere else in the world. There will be no buildings that look similar. I fully expect that, if it looks anything like this rendering when complete, that it will be iconic like Marina City or Aqua or Hancock when complete.

I'm loving the beauty of that image from the West Loop..I remember it well. Thank you for reminding me what an amazing city Chicago is, but goddamn you for making me miss it there so much again.
I also agree with your last statement. This is a city where designs are unique and unparalleled. This design fits that truth, and then some. It surely will be iconic, and it'll add to one of the most brilliant canyons of skyscrapers in the world.
