Chicago Spire
March 20, 2008My oldest brother was in town visiting about a month ago. He’s a big fan of architectural design. I’m pretty partial to it as well. He told me about the Chicago Spire (now under construction). Ever heard of it? It’s an incredible structure! Once completed, it will stand 150 stories high. In comparison, the Sears Tower, the tallest building in North America, is only 108 stories.
The website is definitely worth a gander. It says the building is “inspired by nature.” Sounds like they’re just trying to vamp up its green appeal. I submit they change it to, “inspired by an industrial-strength tapered drill bit.” Now that’ll attract the tenants.
