Look, for example, at the Rainier Tower, the skyscraper that stands on a concrete pedestal half the width of the rest of the building – how does it even stand? And to think it was built in 1977!

Miami on my mind

Chicago || The Monadnock
The Monadnock was conceived primarily as a business centre; in fact, upon its completion, it was the world’s largest office building. Architects Burnham & Root designed the north half (built 1891); Holabird & Roche designed the south half (built 1893). Names that are becoming strangely familiar, by now.
The ground floor is purely commercial; a café, a restaurant, various retail shops, a ”shoe hospital”, every single one of them oozing old-school elegance. I am sure their interior design, unique yet totally coordinated, is a prerequisite and constitutes a lengthy clause in their leasing contract.
Whatever the cause, the result is the most atmospheric commercial gallery I have ever encountered.
