Agreed on the glass. The bases are okay but the towers look like Miami condos...
Ah right, and somehow hits my point even more. Don't need Chicago looking more like Vancouver or Toronto at these core river lots if we truly want to imitate/spread the success of the main branch.

I fear we'll look back on this period of banal glass monoliths & balcony farms as more than a missed opportunity, but maybe just the start of architecture being more about viewing outward from within than about adding to the built environment.
