They will give you a darn good approximation of a mildly above average office tower though. They'll give you a mildly above average curtain wall with a mildly interesting form, wrapped in a fancy name and call it "Architecture" (capital A intended). <br />Frankly, its a farse. If Pelli does the main towers, expect mediocrity. No where in their resume is there an example to indicate we should expect more than cookie cutter corporate drivel.Patricnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-19471886512171872832013-02-01T10:55:49.791-06:002013-02-01T10:55:49.791-06:00They should just drop two buildings and make the m...They should just drop two buildings and make the main one taller like 104 - 106 floors .

Wolf Point's Mothership south tower will be 90 stories tall. River Point will be merely 45 stories high. <br /><br />Moreover, once the Chicago River is filled in at the "alpha" of Wolf Point to create more "land" for the south tower, the "down the River" east views from River Point and its public park on the north side will be obstructed by the massive south tower at Wolf PointAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10923291.post-51543341408362427402013-01-30T11:48:41.640-06:002013-01-30T11:48:41.640-06:00it most certainly is NOT the best we can do! since...it most certainly is NOT the best we can do! since it is in the realm of a distant "phase 2" there is time to demand that whatever gets built is deserving of its "moment in history"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
