David Schalliol links to a great piece on the latest and greatest in Chicago architecture. I must not make it downtown enough these days because there are several buildings that I have never seen before, and some of them are just gorgeous. Maybe I need to spend a day taking some photographs.
A resident-of-Chicago friend recently returned from a trip to NYC and complained that it was just an ugly city, mainly because the architecture was much less interesting, and the comment surprised me a little. Obviously Chicago is the more planned city, owing to the fire, but I was under the impression that a lot of really wonderful stuff is going up in New York these days. Maybe my impression is skewed by reading the Times too much? I've never warmed the Chicago papers, especially online.
