Cubeception!
Yeah, my concern is that this is merely a double height space to hold the slosh tank and it will be enclosed with spandrel panels.

One Bennett Park had something similar, tall mechanical spaces at the top that were eventually enclosed. We probably won't know for awhile.

Good point.

The tank is below the cube. The cube is purely "ornamental".

None of the renderings have it enclosed, so why the fear?

NEMA really takes the focus off of OMP which is very much a welcome thing. It's like you acknowledge that OMP is there then your eye immediately moves to NEMA. OMPW is officially filler at this point, which it always should have been with that design.

indeed!

that's my single favorite aspect of NEMA.

the south wall was like a bad cartoon when OMP ruled the skies.

now, thanks to vinoly, some chicago reality has been injected into it and we no longer have to look away in embarrassment.

we can only hope that OMP's former prominence will be further reduced by NEMA II (whatever it might look like).

After much deliberation i am now of the opinion that Nema can stand on her own, and if Nema 2 is redesigned i can live with it!

I don't agree with all the OMP hate, sure it's tacky, but it's the epitome of 2000's era design. Just another layer of styles within our skyline, our own little Burj.

This building has certainly turned out to be far sexier than OMP, but that doesn't mean OMP is without its merits.

^ OMP isn't the worst tower in the world, it just doesn't belong in chicago, and certainly not in a such a prominent spot.

nema and OMP have a bit of a conversation there..

OMP is like you hit nema with a potato peeler and chopped and rounded it... or something

100%

If people are photoshopping OMP out of skyline shots, I couldn't hold it against them.

Who in the world would photoshop a building out of a skyline shot?

Today is a sad day.

Ladies and gentlemen, if you would please join me in this moment of remembrance, open up this video in another tab and gaze at all the cube pictures, one last goodbye, before i see my cube in heaven
