IBM Building - Mies van der Rohe

I took this shot right after they tore down the Sun-Times Building and just as they were laying the groundwork for the new Trump condos that will be built on the site. So, for a few weeks, we were able to see Mies van der Rohe's IBM Building without any blockage whatsoever. It looks, to me, like one of the tablets from '2001 - A Space Odyssey.' I know I'll miss this way of viewing the building before it is dwarfed by the new.

This was to be Mies van der Rohe's last building designed in the USA. You might want to check out the website archiseek for more information.
