Mies - there’s a mies in there somewhere. Chicago skyline as it looked in 2019 from probably the north. I don’t remember what roof this is or what project took me up there but a nice hazy view

Mies - John C. Kluczynski Federal Building popping up over the post office. Preservationist decried the demolition of the neo classical Chicago Federal Building for its construction, but if you’ve been in federal plaza don’t see how you could.

Mies Adjacent - unite d'habitation Berlin a heavily altered version of the original in Marseille by Le Corbusier. An effort to resolve the post war housing crisis. Not considered a work of Corbu but still a cool piece of history.

Mies - IIT campus taken probably 20 years ago on 35mm. While I didn’t go to IIT I would head down there on occasion in grad school just to be in the space. Keeping in mind the broader social and urban planning decisions that made room for this campus were racist and destroyed communities.
