Talk:Columbia Center/to do


 * History
 * Background: What was there before it? When was the land bought?
 * Construction: Uses concrete and steel to save costs
 * Construction: When did it become the tallest building in Seattle, the West Coast? (1984?)
 * Incidents: First parachutist was in 1984?; another hit the side of the building causing minor damage and injury (1995)


 * Design
 * Floor height shortened from 12 ft to 11.5 ft to have 76 floors without exceeding height restrictions
 * Sway dampening for the thin, tallest core


 * Reception
 * Worry regarding Selig/Lindsey producing another Houston-like building
 * Victor Steinbrueck's criticisms
 * Columbia Tower Club criticisms
 * The height issue again: 50% taller than the previous tallest Seattle skyscraper
 * Recurring concern about adding tall antennas producing a slug-like appearance
