Looks like a cool structure. Calatrava is a good architect. He designed the art museum addition that was completed in Milwaukee in 2001.

Yes, but I've known about the Chicago Spire, and seen that picture, for months. Maybe it's just because I live here, I dunno.

As I recall, it's to be 150 stories tall and be right on the lakefront, on LSD. Should be interesting when it's done.

It looks like a drill bit.... Or a screw or something like that.

Looks to me to be a bit symbolistic

of the screwing were giving the rest of the world
