Chicago Magazine: The Thompson Center Is Dead. Long Live the Loop Googleplex. The latest reveal from Google raises as many questions as it offers answers about preservation, public access, and the building’s place in Chicago’s architectural heritage.
Not if its going to get new skin. IIRC new glass is need for energy efficiency and it looks like the new glass will have a silver tint. Also the cladding are all being replaced again with new color scheme.
Agreed. One of the laziest pieces of art I think I've ever encountered. It's amazing they are taking so much attention to removing it. Put it somewhere out of general sight.
Still, kudos to Johnny on the spot Solarwind. Awesome snaps.
Woah! That's pretty exciting to see. I guess we're gonna see the skeleton of this thing at some point as they strip the cladding. That will be pretty interesting.
I am assuming they are gonna strip it down to the beams like they did the for part of the Tribune Tower renovation.
