The Aon Center comes like a comfort now that the twin towers are gone. Although it is different from the WTC towers, it still looks a lot like one of them, and I love it for it. Besides, it derives from the same architectural period. A great consolation knowing that the world still has buildings like that (together with the Aon Center in LA). I consider this building a part of the world architectural heritage from our time, just like the pyramids from the ancient times.
I wonder why I thought it looked like the World Trade Center... it doesn't look anything like the Twin Towers, there are BIG differences.
But it's a kewl building still, except the fact it doesn't have a cafe, or bar, or hotel, or restaurant, but it just doesn't look anything like the Twin Towers.
this building looks like the World Trade Center, it's kinda chilling when you think of it actually that (when i was at the aon center) it was creepy because the building it looks like is gone forever and it left leaving a hole in america.
The building exterior was originally clad in Carrara marble when completed in 1973. A year later, the marble began falling off the building; too thin and couldn't take the severe, winter weather. The building was eventually reclad in granite at a cost of over $80 million. Big time lawsuit.
Do you know how high 1,000 feet is?! The Freedom Tower in New York is 530 meters high, that is 1,776 feet long (with antenna). The AON Center is 380 meters.
@Abricialio I checked, it's 1,136 ft. tall. Meters are confusing, they can throw you off like that. Although, they are more correct than our system of measurements here in America. Ours is based off of whatever, while the Metric System is based off of 100.
Sorry but we don't have in The Netherlands things with feet, we call it in meters in my country. Anyways, if they don't rebuild the Twin Towers, they should make another AON Center tower.

It looks soooo tall! Especially at :24. If I'm correct, it's over 1,000 ft. high.

@Abricialio Oh hey, it's all cool. Meters are more correct than ft. The Metric System makes more sense. I've been trying to convert to it.

Not anymore. They had to replace the marble with granite. The marble just couldn't take our winters.
