Union Carbide Building spire addition, from 1951. The same year the ESB recieved its spire. Also, I wonder if Foster saw this

- contextual mentions about Yamasaki’s design and Pelli’s adjacent complex
- models, tests, skyscraper safety discussion

Much better than BIGs weird casino design.
Sort of reminiscent of the International Land and Sea Center.

As you hear in the video, the client thought that crown of the first building looked like an oil drill. With the final design, they thought the crown looked like a Phillips screw. Honestly not bad items to inspire for architecture
