View Full Version : NBC Tower, Chicago Wu-Gambino September 20th, 2003, 02:52 PM NBC Tower, Chicago 627 feet, 191 meters 37 floors Completed in: 1989 Architect: Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP http://tinypic.com/1gt1l http://tinypic.com/1gt1t http://tinypic.com/1gt1u The Messiah September 20th, 2003, 04:52 PM The best side of this tower is the front imo. 5.0/10 Sky_Man September 20th, 2003, 05:22 PM I think it looks perrty good, and it is a nice mixture of art deco into postmodernism. 8/10 http://63.240.11.253/about/images/case_cityfront.jpg http://members.aol.com/jnboom/nbc.jpg http://www.magooonsafari.com.au/exhibitions/nbc.jpg RafflesCity September 20th, 2003, 05:27 PM 7.5/10 It only looks good at night and from the narrow side. In the day, the facade is just ok (a bit drab), and the broad side looks too industrial and disillusioning. renell September 20th, 2003, 08:06 PM 8/10 i like the art deco/post modernism mix.

I wish the windows weren't so small, it lends the building that 1960s "institutional" feeling. 8.0/10 El_Greco August 23rd, 2005, 12:59 AM 8/10 Sinjin P.
