There's this dumb sh*t- "And, by law, the space cannot be illuminated. So when Vista twinkles in the Chicago skyline at night, she will have a black choker across her neck." 432 Park Ave in NYC has four blow-throughs, all of which are illuminated and look quite good. Illinois law remains ass backwards.
:
"The City Datum is hereby established as a plane 17.640 feet below the bench mark cut on top of the bottom stone of granite base at the Southeast corner of the Northern Trust Company Bank Building at the Northwest corner of S. LaSalle and W. Monroe."
"the city datum is hereby established as a plane 17.640 feet below the bench mark cut on top of the bottom stone of granite base at the southeast corner of the northern trust company bank building at the northwest corner of s. Lasalle and w. Monroe."
In which case, the floors could give the building an interesting visual feature, much like the Optima towers.
nice job.
could they ever do some kind of custom lighting inside that could reflect bulls/cubs/bears/hawks championships?? Or anything else that could be currently on-going in the city? seems like there could be tons of other ideas to light that floor that would be better than just black.

"Other mid-stream changes to the Vista plan include a revised, less complicated exterior glass system that ditches green coloring for more bluish tones."
Uggg. More value-engineering. I'm so sick of blue glass. At least the green was going to be a little different.

So, kind of like we see in the Site I rendering...

i also dont understand how blue glass is any cheaper than green
Kinda of crazy that they just change the glass color like that...I mean almost seems they never had intention on the green glass...who makes a big change of glass color after the building is already under construction and a few stories out of the ground...they order this glass way in advance dont they?...prolly had blue glass ordered from the start...
