NBC Tower

Chicago, IL

NBC Tower - opened 1989. Postmodernist building inspired by NBC's Art Deco skyscrapers in New York City's Rockefeller Center. The twist is the flying buttresses (L-shaped arches), which echo the adjacent Tribune Tower. Echoing elements from the environment is a characteristic of postmodernism.
