From JS Online:
"In its various incarnations, it has been likened to a drill bit, a swirling ball gown, a soft-serve ice cream cone, a licorice Twizzler and a birthday candle. Whatever metaphor you choose, Santiago Calatrava's proposed Chicago Spire is a twisting, shimmering symbol of both the Windy City's downtown renaissance and its global aspirations.
"At 2,000 feet, the 150-story skyscraper would be the nation's tallest building, eclipsing Chicago's own 1,450-foot Sears Tower and muscling into the ranks of the world's most stratospheric towers in advance of the 2016 Olympics, which Chicago hopes to host."

It's pretty cool, but I think Chicago is just jealous that Milwaukee has a Calatrava and it doesn't. Nothing like a little sibling rivalry.
