Vooft. I didn't mean to personally attack anyone. I just think that for a city with such an incredible design heritage, Chicago can do better. I get sick of looking at boxes. And I know I'm not alone. 👊🏾 At some point, a dogmatic reverence for boxy efficiency is a cop out for a lack of inventiveness or willingness to make progress.

I don't think 150 or River Point are challenging buildings. I think they are fine buildings, but there's nothing we haven't seen before there.

To the point of novelty: Remember how proud we all were to have that giant "dildo" The Spire under construction? That cheap comparison by some couldn't undermine the unmistakeable ingenuity of it.

When I think about The Gherkin in London, Hearst Tower in NYC, Salesforce Tower in SF, and even The Mark in Seattle, I applaud their originality, I wonder, why can't Chicago build something that's not a box, because it's possible. It's happening in other, lesser, cities.
