See the line of glass that runs up the middle, stopping about 10 floors below the top? It's made up of religious-proportioned crosses. I wonder if this was an accident, or if a church funded the construction. I have a view of two union from my office, and I just noticed something very strange.

Don't small floorplates make major contributions to efficiency through increased daylighting? Two Union is one of the few modern buildings in town where the use of curved surfaces is not an aesthetic disaster, I think. I love the skin on the building to the left of Two Union in the photo.

WaMu and Rainer are ver clear diagrams, from a designers point of view. I'd also venture that WaMu Center is about as efficient as they come (occupies 100% of the ground plain, large boxy fkloor plate), but the articulation of its various boxy volumes is quite nice and diminishes its perceived bulk.
