Rating: Three stars. As an Architecture Buff of Chicago, I think it is very wrong for Willis to try and think about putting permanent signs on this building. The Sears Tower always has been a public icon, and putting a sign on the building will make it less of a Landmark on the Chicago Skyline.

I was so impressed with the building and Chicago, I visited again with my wife. We took the opertunity to visit the building again, this time during the day. It has to be the most awe inspiring structure I have ever seen.

Rating: Five stars. Excellent symbol of the American Psyche of the 20th/21st century. The building emboddies our "bigger is better" mentality. But aesthetically, a finesse is missing. Again, this is very American..big, form n function. That is what we Americans are about. This building shouts America! Feb 2, 2009

Rating: Five stars. I saw this building again, but this time, I was on the 8th Floor of Macy's State Street, where you can view the Christmas Tree in the Walnut Room, but looking down at the rest of the tree. Which I did, but then I went to the part of Macy's where you can look SW upward from the window, and view Sears Tower. The antennas were beautifully lit Green on the East Antenna, and Red on the West Antenna, so I got a picture of it, and hope it turns out with the rest of my pictures.

Rating: Five stars. IMHO, the sears is still one of the greatest towering superhighs in the world. Think about it, Burj Dubai, inspite of its wasteful towering height still will not compare to the Sears in Square footage. The Sears Tower was there for created for effeciency and economy. Seems to me that Burj was created to just say hey we have the tallest building in the world. We have yet to see if there is a market for all the ridiculous building going on over there. Here in America we build up because the demand for it becomes evident.

Rating: Five stars. Magnificent. Efficient. Broad-shouldered. The lobby renovation of the mid-1990s moved the tourists out of the main lobbies to the Jackson Street (south) side of the building, and it was a welcome change. I worked on the 74th floor of the tower for six years and it was a very pleasant building to work in.

Rating: Five stars. Ahhhh the Sears Tower one of the greatest towers ever built!!!! Bold and handsome this building makes chicago what it is!!! The building is a tube design of nine different segments (tubes) put together that gives the building its superior strength and sturdiness!!! The sears tower held the worlds tallest building title for nearly 30 years. thats, impressive besides its good looks and advanced arcitectual design of course.

Rating: Five stars. Sears Tower was the last supertall building constructed during the International architecture period, and SOM's interpretation of the style is remarkably bold and awe-inspiring. Sears Tower, alongside John Hancock Center and the Standard Oil Building, were the epitome of the Chicago skyscraper craze during the latter half of the 20th century -- a time when the Chicago economy was booming and tall buildings were a sign of commercial strength and success. Engineers sought different ways of emphasizing the city of "broad shoulders", and the desire for Chicagoans (esp. their businesses) to always be bigger, bolder, and better. Sears Tower is perfectly reminiscient of a thriving, innovative period in Chicago architectural history.

I like thew height, but I feel that the tower looks sort of ugly. It appears almost like five skyscrapers in one, and the design I guess is too dark, and kind of bland. Still is unique though.

Rating: Three stars. its design is bulky but still it was a inovative design for its time, with the "tube construction" as already explained, one thing for sure the sears tower has been always the tallest building until taipei 101 surpassed it (in hieght of last occupational floor)if it was for total hieght with spire or antenna the late North Tower(World Trade Center) would have been the tallest building in the world at 1,701' Sears tower extended to 1,705' I rest my case.
