Sketch #5 - Crain Communications Building


View from the Nichols Bridgeway
connecting Millennium Park and the Art Institute of Chicago's Modern Wing
When Renzo Piano spoke at the opening of the Modern Wing of the Art Institute in 2009, he talked about designing the Nichols Bridgeway, and how it is connecting Urban Life & Culture. He said "Culture makes people better, it's about putting some light in your eyes & it's about making life better."  Walking along the bridge is an elevating experience and a beautiful way to see the City and Millennium Park.  The views are spectacular all along the way.   Looking North - this view focuses on The Crain Communications Building, designed by A. Epstein and Sons in 1984.
