Two of my favorite weird modern buildings: the Helmut Jahn former State of Illinois / now Google building, and, to the east, Bertrand Goldberg's Marina Towers.

Highlights from the Art Institute of Chicago
This place is too damn big and too expensive. It will take more than one day to see everything and I'm not spending another $19 USD (student discount) I skipped over the Art of the America's and Egyptian exhibits and I wish I didn't.
Janine Antoni; Mortar and Pestle, 1999
The curator(?) walked past me as I came around the corner saw this and audibly ughed. She got a chuckle out of it.

Quote
A building is hard to judge. It takes many years to find out whether it works. It's not as simple as asking the people in the office whether they like it. And I'm not talking about the applause from critics or outsiders. They're entitled to have an opinion--but how can they judge how comfortable a building is?

Yesterday inside the James R. Thompson Center, the Chicago landmark designed by architect Helmut Jahn. 🚀 My dad remembers getting a bowl of noodles in the basement here. The soaring atrium is currently closed to the public for renovation before Google takes over, with all entrances locked except one where security guards were. This is how the convo went. Me: "I'm here to take photos of the sculpture" (see the second slide of yesterday's post) Guard: "Are you here with... uh..." Me, taking advantage of the pause: "Yep I'm here with the Chicago Architecture Biennial" (Narrator: "She was not here with the Chicago Architecture Biennial") And he let me on in. 😊 // (c) Jenny Lam 2023

Veer Towers, NV
Veer Towers are twin 37-story condominium towers within the CityCenter complex, located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. The inclined buildings were designed by Murphy/Jahn Architects and tilt in opposite directions at a five-degree angle. Veer Towers opened on July 15, 2010, and is the only all-residential property at CityCenter. The property includes 670 units, divided between the two towers.
Veer Towers was announced in October 2006, as part of the CityCenter project by MGM Mirage. Perini Building Company served as the project's general contractor. The 37-story towers rise 480 ft (150 m), and tilt in opposite directions at a five-degree angle. Both towers use a parallelogram-shaped footprint.
Rebar errors were discovered in the towers during construction. By 2009, the issue had been remedied by wrapping fiberglass jackets around the columns. Veer Towers was originally meant to open with the rest of CityCenter in December 2009. Completion of the towers was delayed, however, opening instead on July 15, 2010.
Veer Towers was designed by Helmut Jahn and his design firm, Murphy/Jahn Architects. Lobbies and public spaces were designed by Francisco Gonzalez Pulido, an architect at Jahn's firm. The lobby design includes metal and exposed concrete walls. The lobby walls of both towers feature mud drawings, titled Circle of Chance and Earth, by artist Richard Long. He diluted mud that he brought to Las Vegas from the River Avon in England, and applied it to the walls with his hands. The corners of each tower are lit in subtle neon by an LED system, programmed by lighting designer Yann Kersalé.
Because of its environmentally friendly design, Veer Towers received a LEED Gold certification on November 20, 2009. The tower design includes yellow paneling on the glass exterior to reflect sunlight and reduce energy cost.
Veer Towers is the only component of CityCenter that is dedicated solely to residential space. It has a total of 670 units, with 335 in each tower. Units range from 500 to 3,300 square feet (46 to 307 m2). Upon opening, condominium owners had the option of renting out their units.
