^^^ I agree, I feel like people just can't figure out how to design aesthetically pleasing ultratalls. I mean there was a huge change in design theory when we first started designing highrises (good old Louie Sullivan and his base, shaft, and cornice theory) and then another change when we started designing Supertalls, adding necessary flow and gradually changing details from the bottom to the top. But I just haven't seen a cohesive plan for a building in the neighborhood of 2500' yet. In fact, the tallest design I've seen that "works" and doesn't look forced in some way is the Chicago Spire and that really just uses the same tricks that were used by supertalls all along. You have a well detailed building that starts with an interesting base and gradually tapers to a point as it gets taller. So that doesn't even really count as an effective ultratall design.

I can't wait to see a 3000' building that "works" because I have no idea how it will look.
