And You Thought The Spire Was Ugly?
April 19, 2008
If anyone was bothered by the planned construction of the Spire, take a look at what could have been! This was an original plan by Frank Lloyd Wright. The Illinois was planned to have stood 5,278 feet and Wright was convinced with careful engineering that this building was actually possible. Can you imagine what this would do to the skyline?

i’ve read about this read a while ago. i actually think it would have been cool and ahead of its time, like something you’d see in “metropolis”. the spire currently being built is ugly-ish, but it will make the chicago skyline even more world famous.
btw, i saw the pics of the forum on lifelube and you’re totally in them!
i know, i hate those pics
i hate the pic of me on rick’s flikr. i look very unattractive…you, however, look very nice in those. hotboyluke looks quite hot.
So you hate how the Spire will alter Chicago’s skyline?
