The Four Tops
OK, so I can't count. On deadline this week finishing up a big project. Will post when possible.
Thank you (no sarcasm) to all architects who have resisted the pressure to make boring boxes.
We need to increase the number of distinctive "tops" on our buildings. That doesn't mean gimmicks or flimsy stuff...just visually pleasing and occasionally daring crowns.
The Hubbard building is still waiting on final touches of that top. we hope to finish it very soon.

My apologies to any Mies fans out there.
