Butler Company, manufacturer of toothbrushes, dental floss in 1923 and sundry oral-care products under the Butler and GUM brand names. Columbia College rented space and held classes in the building during the 1960s and 1970s, prior to it being renovated into rental apartments in 1983, then converted to condos in 1992, by Booth Hansen architects, winner of 90 local and national design awards, including 36 from the American Institute of Architects. A number of well-known Chicagoans and celebrities have called the building home over the years. The 7-story 540 Lake Shore Drive stands out among its towering modern neighbors, a rare loft conversion in Streeterville—a neighborhood much more known for towering high-rises and the home of Chicago’s most famous shopping district, The Magnificent Mile. Given it’s a one-of-a-kind building in one of the more popular places to live in the Windy City, demand for lofts at 540 N. Lake

After decades of the American office building being dominate, in the last twelve years we have observed a gradual but major shift from office use to residential and mixed-use for Tall Buildings, and from North America to Asia. The turn of the millennium has also seen major changes in the use of buildings in cities having the longest experience with Tall Buildings. Chicago is witnessing a series of office buildings being transformed into residential or mixed-use buildings, a phenomenon also occurring on a large scale in New York. In midtown Manhattan of New York City we note the transformation of major hotels into residential projects. The transformation of landmark projects in midtown New York City is making an impact, but it is not at all comparable to the number of new projects being built in Asia. When conceiving new projects, we should perhaps bear in mind that, in due time, these will also experience major shifts in uses and we should plan for this in advance.

  • Streeterville Neighborhood Plan 2014 Update II August 18, 2014
    Streeterville Neighborhood Plan 2014 update II August 18, 2014 Dear Friends, The Streeterville Neighborhood Plan (“SNP”) was originally written in 2005 as a community plan written by a Chicago community group, SOAR, the Streeterville Organization of Active Resi- dents. SOAR was incorporated on May 28, 1975. Throughout our history, the organization has been a strong voice for conserving the historic character of the area and for development that enables divergent interests to live in harmony. SOAR’s mission is “To work on behalf of the residents of Streeterville by preserving, promoting and enhancing the quality of life and community.” SOAR’s vision is to see Streeterville as a unique, vibrant, beautiful neighborhood. In the past decade, since the initial SNP, there has been significant development throughout the neighborhood. Streeterville’s population has grown by 50% along with new hotels, restaurants, entertainment and institutional buildings creating a mix of uses no other neighborhood enjoys. The balance of all these uses is key to keeping the quality of life the highest possible. Each com- ponent is important and none should dominate the others. The impetus to revising the SNP is the City of Chicago’s many new initiatives, ideas and plans that SOAR wanted to incorporate into our planning document. From “The Pedestrian Plan for the City”, to “Chicago Forward”, to “Make Way for People” to “The Redevelopment of Lake Shore Drive” along with others, the City has changed its thinking of the downtown urban envi- ronment. If we support and include many of these plans into our SNP we feel that there is great- er potential for accomplishing them together.

Ali† and Kyoung Sun Moon Structures Division, School of Architecture, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, IL 61820, USA †Corresponding Author: Tel: + 1 217 333 1330; Fax: +1 217 244 2900; E-mail: [email protected] Received 8 May; accepted 13 June 2007 Abstract: Tall building developments have been rapidly increasing worldwide. This paper reviews the evolution of tall building’s structural systems and the technological driving force behind tall building developments. For the primary structural systems, a new classification – interior structures and exterior structures – is presented. While most representative structural systems for tall buildings are discussed, the emphasis in this review paper is on current trends such as outrigger systems and diagrid structures. Auxiliary damping systems controlling building motion are also discussed. Further, contemporary “out-of-the-box” architectural design trends, such as aerodynamic and twisted forms, which directly or indirectly affect the structural performance of tall buildings, are reviewed. Finally, the future of structural developments in tall buildings is envisioned briefly. Keywords: Aerodynamics, Building forms, Damping systems, Diagrid structures, Exterior structures, Interior structures, Outrigger systems, Structural performance, Structural systems, Tall buildings Introduction Tall buildings emerged in the late nineteenth century in revolution – the steel skeletal structure – as well as consequent the United States of America. They constituted a so-called glass curtain wall systems, which occurred in Chicago, has led to “American Building Type,” meaning that most important tall the present state-of-the-art skyscraper.

We explore the ancient idea of Harmony and Beauty and the historical confidence in the logarithmic spiral as the symbol of perfection in an un- built project for a 565 m (1,854 ft) high skyscraper that was supposed to be built on the tip of Manhattan, NYC. The role of geometry is no more exploited as an instrument for controlling architectural form, but for its liberation: the project for a helicoidal skyscraper consisted of a succession of warped wings developed on the layout of the logarithmic spiral. The helicoidal shape, works better than the others in splitting up the force of the wind in resistance, has a positive influence on the stability of the building and is the result of a strong design theory wondering about the power of invention, the power of geometry, the power of relationships among numbers, and finally the beauty of (deriving from) mathematics (in Architecture).

  • From Troubled to Trophy: the Turnaround of Chicago's Oneeleven
    From Troubled to Trophy: The Turnaround of Chicago’s OneEleven August 14, 2015 | By Ryan Ori When Chicago’s OneEleven apartment development sold for a record price earlier this year, it marked the second notable achievement for the project. Before the $328 million sale, mere completion of the 60-story build- ing had erased an eyesore from one of the Loop’s most visible walls of trophy towers. Chicago-based real estate investment management firm Heitman paid $651,000 per unit for the building along the Chicago River, a city record. That January sale by Related Midwest is even more remarkable considering that just a few years earlier, the property at Wacker Drive and Clark Street stood as a constant reminder of a real estate development pipeline that had dried up during the recession. From 2008 to 2012, a 27-story concrete skeleton lurked over office workers and tourists walking along the Chica- go River. A previous developer’s plan to construct the city’s fifth-tallest skyscraper—90 stories of luxury condo- miniums and a hotel—was halted after efforts to secure a construction loan stalled. “It was a pretty palpable sign of the downturn,” says Curt Bailey, president of Related Midwest, an affiliate of New York City–based Related Companies. “It basically said, ‘The city is not viable for development, and we’ve got failure on our face.’ The architecture boat tours go right by there, and they were basically staring at it.” Nine years elapsed between the ground breaking by the initial development venture, an affiliate of Chicago-based engineering firm Teng & Associates, and the record sale by Related.

This trend appeared on the construction market along with the progress of advanced struc- tural solutions and the high demand for luxury apartments with spectacular views. Two types of constructions can be distinguished within this typology: ultra-luxury super-slim towers with the exclusivity of one or two apartments per floor (e.g. located in Manhattan, New York) and other slender high-rise towers, built in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Melbourne, among others, which have multiple apartments on each floor. This paper presents a survey of selected slender high-rise buildings, where structural improvements in tall buildings developed over the recent decade are considered from the architectural and structural view.
