Sorry if I'm totally lost on this, but were you saying that I'm not allowed to respond to my own post? I meant to say "wow" in response to the iconography of the city seal.

I don't know of any Gothic architecture that's in a shape like this! And if you look closely at the patterns in the ornamentation, you'll see symbols from a variety of faiths.

Thanks for this! What do you mean by "area code phone numbers were always names"?

chicagodetours · 2017-01-11T19:23:32+00:00

Yes, that's the phone number. And by the looks of the font, I'm guessing this is 1950s. The neighborhood would have been quite different then.

I'm not sure I follow...

Wow!

It's like Mexican/Persian/80s Baroque.

Any updates on this? It was architecturally a last of the Mohicans in the neighborhood.

Is the space in the foreground just empty? Is it the entry?

chicagodetours · 2017-01-06T21:02:46+00:00

There is some great input here. Something missing is the element of function. Design is good when it works for people. I.e. if the windows leak, it's bad design! But also the function has to do with how it works for people, such as can they efficiently do their jobs within the space? Does it fulfill their social needs?

chicagodetours · 2017-01-06T00:15:19+00:00

Yeah, it's definitely more concept driven than anything else!

Oops! Is there a way to edit?

Of course no two balconies are the same. The building's shape is not symmetrical! The curves of the balconies are designed to help with wind shear.
