Look like a screw coming up through a piece of plywood. My Mother had a condo for a while of the ~60th floor of the Hancock building in Chicago; on a windy day if you put a ball on a table it would roll back and forth with the buildings sway.

Imagine being on the 43rd floor of an office building as it and all the other skyscrapers sway in an earthquake!!!

I don't get why anyone would want to sleep 2000 feet above ground... and if you can't beat 'Elroy the Sheik of Dubai' what's the point?

Agreed. In fact, I think the building is stupid. Why would you get an architect noted for his museums to design a skyscraper? The building is an ego thing.

To each his own; Chicago does have some pretty nifty architecture.

Actually some great architecture IMO.
