You stand on the construction site in January 1962, watching the twin corkscrews rise against the Chicago skyline. The steel frame climbs story by story, and already residents are imagining their lives inside—a place where they can work, shop, park, and pray without ever leaving the building. It feels like the future is being built right here.
