A proposal on this Thursday's, January 4th agenda raises the question of why Chicago's Landmark Commission members would vote to set a precedent that would make destroying the city's landmark buildings a whole lot easier. Read all about it here.
when the author compares slavaged facades as "...pinned to the walls like butterflys to a board" and then describes the process as "Smash the landmark. Paste the fragments back on again", I cant help but think that is so cool a concept - very techtonic indeed! Welcome to your afterlife, theres no turning back....
Is that the building with Cartier Diamond at the base? If so its very stately at street level unlike the big boxes of river north. However I suspect that in the hands of Lucien LaGrange it will be just as pleasent - he has a very good track record in this city so far.

Death, for a building or for ourselves, is a cool concept as an abstraction; the reality has a tendency to be a lot more unpleasant.
