  I think this building is terrible. A hodge podge of forms slammed together creating an overbearing mass. A sun blocking clump of blue glass. Scale is bad. Style is non existent. "A city in itself" ?? Is that necessary for a building already in a large city? One of the worst buildings on the skyline.

  I like how this building makes a great extention and addition to Chicago's Skyline. I also like the design.

  This building is beautiful. It reminds me of the Emerald City in the Wizard of Oz.

  All I can say when looking at this structure is simply amazing. I was just downtown over the weekend and have had the pleasure of seeing this building as well as many other buildings discussed on this website being built. If you have not had the chance to visit Chicago recently, then you are in for a real treat. You won't believe all the new development in the entire downtown Chicago area, especially in the south loop area which should have been nicknamed "Slum City" years ago. I think that this building (1 Museam Park) will fit in nicely with the area and begin to bring in more residents to the seemingly vacant south loop area. It is begining to seem as if the south loop will turn into an area looking much like NYC's Manhattan's Upper east side by this area being taken over by mostly towering residential buildings. I just hope that the city doesn't forget that more people coming into the area that has sat vacant for about 50 years means more cars needing better WIDER roads, students meaning more schools, shoppers meaning more stores will be needed, and the city BETTER wake up and allow more Taxi medalians to be sold as there already are not enough cabs for everyone and bringing in more people will only make the situation worse, but to developers and the City of Chicago's administration I say, "good job". With the proper planning, this building as well as all the others going up around it will make the south loop area a nice place to visit and live. Nicely done!
