John Hancock Center
Chicago, Illinois

"Towering above the miracle that is North Michigan Avenue the John Hancock Center is a tribute to a remarkable collaboration between the poetry of architecture and the science of engineering. A powerful, spirited building, it is the muscle in the City of Big Shoulders that boldly speaks of civic pride as it proclaims the pulse of the city's heart."
