If the Tribune's coverage is any indication, Chicago has Spire frenzy, as Santiago Calatrava unveiled the "final" design of the 2000' tower on Monday. While my schedule doesn't permit a long post on the design, at first glance Calatrava has made improvements on the second scheme by shaping the tower's profile as it rises, giving it more of a curved -- rather than straight -- taper. The plan also includes improvements to the long-neglected DuSable Park east of Lake Shore Drive and a pedestrian bridge across LSD.
