Robert A.M. Stern, Late Entries to the Chicago Tribune Tower Competition, Chicago, Illinois, 1980 "Our project for the new Chicago Tribune Tower takes its primary reference Adolf Loos’ entry in the original 1921-1922 competition, and attempts to marry that project to the Miesian prism. To build a classical tower out of glass, we have used architectural elements rooted in the culture of the past though executed in the technology of the present."
