2. The Columbian

*scowles at Bvic... Illinois Center owns you :)*

1. Apparel Center / Time Life Bldg.

2. The Heritage @ MP (yeah yeah yeah... I know... everyone else loves it. I'm still not over them forgetting to paint the whole middle of the facade damnit!)

3. There were some downright hideous entries in the Tribune Bldg. contest (I don't remember the specifics), but, there were far more losers than winners.

4. Everything replacing Cabrini Green. The Green was bad... this might be worse.

1. apparel center
2. prentice women's Hospital
3. presidential towers 5 amd 6
4. grand plaza (im outraged by people picking the illinois center,it has some great buldings)

yeah it does some great buildings, but it has some bad ones too, and in a great location at that.

Park Millennium and Hyatt Regency are the only bad buildings I can think of in the lot. What else you got?

i guess no really ugly ones, however, im not the biggest fan of 1 ill center. i guess they just aren't that exciting, i mean go to google and search for the chi river and i never see that area.

Illinois Center is like vertical diahrea. I can take 3 or 4 Meis buildings together, but Meis knockoffs grouped together with other hideous buildings is a totally different thing. Some of the buildings of Illinois Center I can stand, i.e. Swissotel, Prudential Plaza 1&2, AON, Blue Cross Blue Sheild

I'd also like to add to my ugly list, 95% of the buildings done by James Lowenberg.

Yeah, Lowenberg makes some real clunkers.
