So I walked thru the Foster-CITC exhibit - posting are a few photos - but I will not post that many here in case you all want to check it out. (tons are on the Flickr link if you want to view).
Some observations - it's definitely 1,121 feet.
Two, Foster definitely was toying with a Jetson's type circular, spaceship top. Clearly, the top was something that took a lot of time deciding on, before going with the lantern.
Three, I hadn't noticed the vertical lines as much -- I always focused on the zigzag cladding down the sides and the horizontal lines. But looking closer the vertical lines might end up giving CITC an almost WTC (the original) type look. Which I really liked seeing.
Four, the inside of this building is going to be insane. CITC is going to blow away Comcast Center - imho.
Thanks.
