check out the work of Santiago Calatrava. Probably one of my favorite architects. He designed that "screw" looking building in chicago, as well as the milwaukee art museum, which was his first work built in the US.

Noooo! That means it'll beat the CN Tower here in Toronto. Which means not only will it be the tallest building in NA, it will be the tallest in the world. Question though? Will it be free standing? |
