This design is... interesting. I like how most of the buildings are designed with green roofs and are low slung. The park and the museum flow effortlessly into each other. Reminds me a lot of the Lucas Museum. (before Friends of the Parking Lot killed that off)
And then there's that alien trapezoidal cube. I don't know yet how to feel about that just yet.

I completely agree with this. I can look past the taking of park space for the museum (especially with vacant land not exactly being scarce in Woodlawn) if Cornell is completely removed from Jackson Park.
Route 57th Dr. to Stony Island at 57th St, and widen Stony Island from that point on to where Cornell empties onto Stony Island just north of Marquette Dr. It would do wonders to make the park feel more natural.
