Northwestern Music Building

Some new renderings on Chicago Architecture Blog. I actually really like all the things Goettsch does. They have a really great philosophy, which seems to be to keep things simple, intuitive and user-oriented. Its not about wowing people with showy design, but making things that manipulate space and light in such a way that they are subtly pleasing. One can see this in all of their designs esp. their amazingly urban skyscrapers with the curtain-wall lobbies (111 s. Wacker etc.)
