Smile o.k. grace jones...

If you're a Bond fan, you'll know what the reference to Grace Jones means...

but besides that...The Donnelly Center is stunning at night. At least it's not a big black turd on a shingle obstructing the view of buildings 1/1,000th worthy of praise that a Mies building deserves. I wouldn't wish a Mies building on my worse suburban office park...
I do like one thing that Mies invented, a real nice chase lounge chair that I've been told is attributed to him, besides that...yuck!!

Citizens For Better Planning-Luckily, an organization founded long after the Mies architectural disaster era.

I completely agree - and I'm not half the Mies fan that you are.
