333 South Wabash, a 35-story tower in Chicago, Illinois, USA. The building, completed in 1973 and really only distinguished due to its color, was rebranded as The Red this year. A cool feature is the ability to display messages on its facade by turning lights on and off and by opening and closing window shades.

Constantine the Great died on May 22, 337, ending a reign of 31 years (12 on his own). He accomplished a lot: restructuring government agencies and the military, introducing a currency that would be the standard for a millennium, declaring tolerance for Christians, convening the Council of Nicea, ordering the building of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, building a new palace in Byzantium (which was renamed Constantinople in his honor) and establishing dynastic succession as the standard in the Byzantine Empire.
