Cityscapes: Chicago lakefront gains a gem; architect thinks beyond ...
What could have been a dumpy concrete box is instead a new shoreline landmark. Well, sort of. Actually, the building vanishes when it's seen from the west looking east. That's just as the architect wanted it.
The architect, David Woodhouse, has been in the news of late as the winner of the controversial design competition for a memorial to Burnham at the Museum Campus. He's already got an impressive track record on the lakefront, including the handsomely traditional visitor pavilions at Buckingham Fountain and the playfully modern Rainbow Park Beach House.
), the structure becomes an extension of the park, not an intrusion into it. Parkgoers stroll up the hill to look out over the harbor, Navy Pier or the July 3 fireworks display. Given the roof has to support about a foot of dirt, as well as big crowds of people, muscular beams of steel support it.In dealing with the building underneath, Woodhouse wisely avoided Nantucket-style nostalgia, all cutesy shingles and weather vanes.
