CTBUH Journal — “Case Study: Vista Tower, Chicago”
Right after that awesome doc, we get an official CTBUH write-up. Loving all the attention Vista is getting!! This document gets into the good stuff where the Building Giants video lacks. 
Quote:
"Vista Tower, the subject of our case study, is situated prominently at the intersection of the historic axes of the Chicago River and Lake Shore Drive. It is one thing to choose a significant location for the city's future third-tallest building; it is quite another to turn that location into a gateway that unites parkland with riverfront recreation, crossing beneath a three-level roadway that had blocked access for decades. On the one hand, the building is very much in the Chicago tradition of structural bravado; on the other, it uses that bravado to hearken a future where skyscrapers are unitary forces and no longer urban barriers."
— Daniel Safarik, Editor, CTBUH Journal
