LOL!
son, chicago was building boxes back when houston was still wearing diapers.
chicago taught the entire freaking planet how to build boxes in the first place.

that said, the current design for this project is "boxy" in that it incorporates a lot of right angles, but by no definition of the word "box" that i'm familiar with, is it actually a box.
the set backs on the north elevation along with the serrated western facade that follows the non-orthagonal line of the river both preclude the massing from being a literal box.
