guys, we're chicagoans, we get modern architecture. we shouldn't be surprised when the inexperienced rubes from the "Bland and Safe States of America" are challenged by the modern masterworks of our city.
besides, regardless of what some dingleberry with a blog on the interent says, IIT is our acropolis, architects from around the world make pilgrimages to our city to pray at the altar of chicago's parthenon, crown hall. people that know architecture know and respect IIT. architectural tourism in chicago is a skyrocketing business growing year after year after year, so obviously there are some people out there in this so-called "general public" that are opening up to, and curious to learn more about, modern architecture, which can only be a good thing.
