another glass edifice for Chicago. I hope the resurgence of masonry and other materials catches on over there like it has in NYC and other cities. There have been proposals in Chicago (400 N LSD and 170 N Peoria notably), but none of them have yet to materialize. ---

If that bracing would have been repeated throughout the design at intervals of every 10 floors or so all the way up the tower with a decorative crown it would have been a spectacular building.
