^ Why do New Yorkers always come here thinking Chicago should be "thankful" to get a project, whether crappy or not, from a New York architect?
I'm just saying. This project is probably going to be just like the dime-a-dozen crap put up over the years in Chicago by local architects: historic-looking buildings using cheap materials. I don't give 2 shits if some dude from New York decided to do it or some guy from Bangkok, Thailand. It's the same shit, different dude. End of story.
Having said that, I don't despise faux historicism as much as the others here, and I'm happy that at least there won't be a parking podium. But that would have been the case with any architect, as the parking garage is already built.
