  This is a very cool skyscraper in Chicago, like how it looks. Especially the pyramid and point at the top looks spectacular. It even looks cool at night, even when it's day time.

  Not a bad-looking building, but the lobby is odd and unreadable to the casual visitor, and it handicaps the building in a significant way.

  Actually, this is not an unattractive building, but there are far better in Chicago. My main objection to this building is that it basically possesses no originality. It reminds me of a contemporary rendition of New York's Empire State and Chrysler buildings, not to mention a few buildings in Philadelphia and pretty much those of any other large US city. In other words, it's very generic, which disqualifies it from being a true Chicago skyscraper.
