Chicago Spire

This video clip of the Santiago Calatrava-designed Chicago Spire comes from the Crain's Chicago Business website. Looking at it, I am beginning to wonder if a 2000ft tower northeast of downtown doesn't throw of the feng shui of the skyline. A building that tall begs to be built in the center of downtown and in the middle of the skyline.

Then again, the Hancock Building works pretty fine right where it is, so there.

It still looks like a giant dildo.

And Dvorak?! Maybe the Habanera from Carmen would be more appropriate.

I think it would be perfect for a site like Wolf Point...I dont quite like it right on the lakefront either. I'm sure overtime other skyscrapers will fill in around it, but its definitely going to take getting used to.
