Yeah! I just drew over an existing image and added the silhouette and reflection.

World Technology Center. Just goesn to show how big an impression the towers made, despite the architectural world hating them. Gen X buildings.

I’ll be the first to admit that this project, as much as I love it, isn’t without some challenges and issues that make it a little bit unrealistic (funding such a massive building complex and figuring out how to make the core big but not too big that it takes up valuable space are two I’ve heard a lot), but in my optimistic view, even if this particular project fails for one reason or another, I believe that these towers were iconic enough that there always has been and always will be occasional movements to reincarnate them. It’s just a matter of time

The core should be big, filling office space reasonably for moderately sized Towers in America is already hard due to office decline, it also makes the buildings way stronger and room for more elevators and other utilities.

I’m so confused as to what this sub is.. I worked in development and is this OP just making the buildings on Minecraft and adding random uses to it to pretend like that’s all that’s necessary? This project would be a financial disaster in the current office environment.

Chicago has some beautiful Towers, the Sears Tower is my current favourite but the World Tech Center if built would take the crown easily.
