Excited to share photos of our concession stand adaptive re-use in Hickory Hills! By formalizing the ad-hoc use of the garage with a new service window, metal panels, and a supergraphic, we add to the placemaking efforts of The Lakota Group’s Veterans Park refresh.

We need something to distract us from politicians and weather
This. Chicago continually fails the Be Normal About An Animal challenge, & honestly, I love that for us
I love how much Chicago comes out any time some animals show up that we don’t usually see

I've been in a Bob Stern hospital quite a bit (he didn't do the part I was born in). While I'm not a fan of the neotrad stuff, his firm is one that usually does it right.
Also yeah can I lose the computer too?

Sad to see that Bob Stern passed away. He brought a lot to the field of architecture by understanding what worked from the past and knowing how to bring that into the present. Also he didn't use a computer, which sounds fantastic right now

Everyone asking about Sbarro in that Reddit is an honorary Sbarro Urbanist
Someone shared an interior progress shot of the Thompson Center on Reddit. Just sharing here in case the OP deletes the original thread and photo. It looks like all of the upper office levels are enclosed, but the big atrium space will live on.
