The Miglin Beitler Skyneedle. I want to see this finally get built like originally intended. Chicago lost out so bad for this never being built. Art deco rules!

Most definitely the Miglin Beitler Skyneedle

It would be nice to have more concrete buildings in chicago

It would be nice to have more concrete buildings in chicago because we have too many glassy buildings

I totally agree...art deco rules. But I would only support a shorter version of this, without all that overdone wedding-cake layering going on. One or two layers -in true art deco fashion- yes (like something similar to the Empire State Building), but not like in the picture. And perhaps a bit shorter than the Sears. (or better yet, tear down the Sears, and replace it with a shorter version of this "Skyneedle"). Blasphemy, I know.

Italianate architecture....a lot more of it

As a Swede, with architect dreams, I would like to develop Andersonville to something more modern and edgy. Build a little higher and maybe a skyscraper there. Landshövdingehus would be appropriate for that area.

I like a lot of Chicago buildings already. Art deco would look great and I also think the city would do well with simple, modern buildings.

More smaller scaled, civilized infill buildings on commercial streets.
