8/10 - Big John manages to get beyond the box with the X bracings and the tapered shape - not to mention proud, soaring height - I've been there, and the view from the observation deck is awesome. And there's a great restaurant just a floor or two below...
 The sunken plaza on the west side works well, too.

this is a classic in American architecture...a one of a kind & recognizable around the world...the design is brutal with it's X bracing but manages to overcome that....it is an amazing piece of architecture...9.5/10.

I've been to the top of this building 2 times. This is my
favorite from Chicago. I think the view from here is better than the Sears Tower. What a great Chicago landmark. |

The Hancock Center is one of my classical favorite skyscrapers. Much better looking then the Sears Tower or the Amoco Building, I'm sure that a good deal of Chicagoans must be proud of their achievement...

*SIGH!*
I miss the old days, when the antennae were symmetrical...and no matter how ugly it is, it is huge, it is tall, and I would give a lot of things to live on the <b>92nd floor of a building</b>! |

10/10
It doesn't get much better than this. It is massive and powerfull, yet it is so simple. The antennas are great. Very impressive in person and it defines Chicago. Last edited by Wu-Gambino; November 8th, 2003 at 12:00 AM. |

Naw. Somehow I can't get excited about this putative beauty at all. The antennae are ridiculous whether of even length or not, and to me the whole thing gives a somber, austere impression.
A kind 6.5 |
